Well it is time to get them done and now the question is should I tackle it myself or pay the shop. I have read the article regarding the replacement of tubes and it varies from what the shop service manager stated how they do them. Now this is the local BW dealer and they replace tubes with no oring and use Sikaflex under flares and inside. Now their cost is an hour labor per tube and tubes cost is reasonable. So my questions are should I replace them myself and if so which way, as they stated they have been replacing them their way for over 10 years without any issues.
Thanks in advance great site which I will be using a lot.
