Boy, are you being ripped off, and taken to the cleaners.
Some of you may recognise me as a rebuilder, and then a seller, of these A body, Kelsey Hayes, 4 piston caliper, disc brake systems.
As someone else already mentioned, the biggest labor intensive part of the job is if you are completely rebuilding the calipers.
If i was doing that job i would probably be putting in around 4 hours to completely redo the calipers.
Taking the hard lines off, bleeder srews.
Separating the halves of the calipers.
Getting all 8 pistons out of their bores.
Sraping all the rust out of the rubber sealing ring bores.
Honing the bore cylinders.
Cleaning the calipers.
Soaking them out in Evaporust.
Painting the calipers.
Putting the seal kits in.
Putting back the pistons.
Re-assembling the calipers.
That's the time consuming part of the job.
To put new rotors onto the hubs, pressing out all 10 of the studs, transferring the hubs to the new rotors, pressing in the studs.
No more than 1/2 hour to do that by any compitent mechanic, doing something like that.
Then if one had to re-install everything onto a car and get it operational again, one to 2 hours, labor time, Max.
Boy, come to Sacramento, and i would have happily done all that work for you.
Do you have a written work order for what you wanted done?
I suspect not, so i don't know how your gonna be working your way out of the dilema of yours.
Best of luck to you though.
Jim V.
