Dealer cost to replace wear ring?

What is the average dealer cost to replace a wear ring? I have a 2001 Sportster and debating if I do myslef or have the dealer do it as I understand there is a special tool required to remove the impeller?

save and do it yourself.
Usually its 65-85 an hour. Figure 3-4 hours w/o parts

tool is under 20 bucks...

Ive seen them quote anywhere from 300 to 500. Less than $100 if you do it yourself.

Yep... no reason to let the dealer do it. The tool is $10 to $20... a ring will be $35 to $50... and a neoprene gasket is $6. (depending where you buy them)

Most dealers are up to $85/hr these days, and they will mark-up the parts.

You are looking at +$300 for the dealer to do it.

yip, dealer won't be cheap enough on that to justify it, save the money and buy your wife a nice bracelet

Dealers, nothing like a hard poke in the eye to motivate us to DIY

does anybody have the part number for the neoprene gasket 1998 seadoo challenger? my dealer in canada says no such thing

293200024 mostly used on the ski's. That's why they don't show up on the boar diagram...

The Sportster with the 951 uses a slightly different looking neoprene seal. You want 293200051. It's more like a ribbed o-ring. That is of course, if your Challenger has a 951.

Thanks for all the replies. I was planning to do myself as I figured dealer would be way too much... Had it been one hour labour then maybe. I will pull the pump off this weekend to see if I need anything else. Then next month I am going to Florida for work so will go to SBT to pick up parts and removal tool. Anything else I should replace while I have the pump out? other than the oil of course.

The only other thing too look at is the carbone ring. The wear ring is not that hard. After the pump is out its like 20mins of work. After you saw saw the old ring and pull it out the OEM should slide right it with no isses. Use a 2x4 and hammer and your done. It take longer getting the pump and impeller off than swaping the ring.
