Klaus has requested that I do a DIY on cylinder removal/replacement, I will look into getting that done.
ala_xfire, now I understand what you meant by the HINT.
Doing the cylinder rebuild job correctly is actually pretty involved. We rebuild cylinders for many different brands, and that allows us to be quite efficient. We simply price the rebuild service based on how much effort and material it takes on our end, as opposed to how much more we could make because the Crossfire cylinders are no longer manufactured. If we asked too much for the service, then we would eventually have competition cropping up. I prefer being fair and consistent in pricing.
It is awesome that you are considering getting a DIY for cylinder removal and replacement done - this would be a big help for everyone except shops and dealers.
Let me know if I can be of any assistance.
Klaus
