I'm hoping there are at least a few Toyota techs here who can answer these questions:
1. In regards to the rear leaf spring TSB# T-SB-0305-08, page 2, it claims the time it takes to perform the rear leaf spring replacement is 3.1 hours for a TRD option truck, if I'm reading it correctly. Can a tech confirm this please.
2. Is the 3.1 hours accurate, or does it actually take less time for a good Toyota mechanic? If less, what is the actual time?
I'm asking these questions as my truck is out of warranty but Toyota has agreed to pay for the more expensive item between the labor and parts. I'm pretty sure the parts will be more than the labor but help with the above will guide me. I can probably negotiate the labor easier than the cost of the parts, but I'll see.
THANKS in advance
