$476 to assemble an 8 3/4 diff

$476 for a shop to do it or
let’s do some math:
Harbor Freight indicator set: $34.99
Harbor Freight dial caliper: $21.99
Autozone, Oreilys free loaner tool seal/bearing driver set: Free
or buy from Harbor Freight: $39.99
Factory Service Manual: should already have

Total: $97 + tax if buying all the tools or $57 +tax if using Loan a tool for the seal/race driver set, not including the 20% off HF coupon on one item deal they always have.

So that’s either about $65 or $108 ?? just for the only required tools to DIY. (Driving in the pinion races can be done without the driver set but being it’s a free loaner tool it’s the proper way)
