Hey guys

I need to have the head unit rebuilt as the bearings were run dry on the way home from work one day last season. Looking around, it seems Vortec is the only "authorized" rebuilder and have read they frequently just go with the standard "you need a new head unit". I'd rather not wait that long for nothing.

So the 2 questions I have are; 1). is there a reputable source to rebuild the unit and 2). is the task really that daunting in the first place. I've looked at a couple of write-ups and I'd need to pick up a press and I'm not sure how my 18v cordless impact will fair for tear-down. Thoughts anyone?

Then after all that, I'm considering just flipping the SC anyway since I had an issue on a roadtrip 900 miles out and developed a misfire that I couldn't get anyone to look at after doing the basics myself. I figure if this is going to get handed down to the wife and she runs into an issue when I'm away, it could be a bit of a problem if a repair shop or the dealer doesn't want to touch it. Still debating that one.
