Unless you run into unavoidable issues. We've had a few that had poblems like broken pin screws, chewed up spider gears, seized ABS sensor bolt, etc. that oviously added a bit of time to the job.

However, if he's having anything that is complicating the job, he should at least have contacted you and let you know what's going on.

Sounds like he was doing more than just a ring and pinion gear swap. If he needed something to compress the spring, it sounds like he was rebuilding your trac-lock clutches.

Although, I always just use a couple hose clamps and a vice to get the spring back in.
