^^^This is probably the only way I would get one done. That way I know it will be done right. Very few shops I would trust doing this.

Yes the wheel was $28.00 and katech charged under
$100.00 to remove old reluctor mount new one and to
weld it in place. Their prices are on their website.

I went through the same thing. Finally ended up buying the tool to do it properly. Used it once and now it sits on the shelf. Might need it again some day. You never know.
