Can anyone recommend a good shop in Austin that can press out my old rotor bearings and press in some new ones? I know about MZM, but I would prefer to avoid them. The last time I called them for some service the guy on the phone was an a**hole, so they don't need my business. It is supposed to be a pretty straight forward procedure, but I would like to find someone who has done it before. Rotors and bearings are expensive!

 

Try http://www.jcautospec.com @ 512-670-5352 (Round Rock). They can handle rotaries and may be able to help you.

 

I called them, unfortunately he isn't setup to do rotor bearings.

 

BDC in Dallas does them. I'm not sure you'll find anybody in town that can do it, much like everything else.

One of these days I need to set up a fixture, but so far I haven't had the need personally.

 

I sent mine to get pressed by brian and as soon as he finished he sent me pics. I would suggest using him

 

any machine shop can do it really. Just let them know what you want done and they can do it.

 

Don't they still need an adapter that fits the 13B rotor bearing?

I called around and got quite a range of prices.

MZM $127.50
Gotham $75
Protech $50
Alamo $30

I ended up taking them to protech, they should be ready tomorrow. I told MZM their price was a "little" high for an hour's work and he just said it was a flat fee?!?

 

Reason #11tybillion why it's unbelievable MZM is still in business.

I guess I need to start installing windshield wiper LED's, too!!

 

no I don't think so. I got some local shop that wouldn't know a rotor from a eccentric shaft to do mine and they charged me like 20 bucks a piece.

 

yes they do I trid alocal shop ,and they had to make a bushing driver and said it would cost about 120. GO with protech or alalmo ,but stay away from MZM. THose gfuys over there are a ******* joke ,and yes chris I'm suprised they are still in buisness ,at there ridicouls prices!

 

How IS mzm still in business? I prefer the Lambs Automotive on Bee Caves/ 2244. I believe they do rotory engines.

 

I can do them, guys. Shoot me a PM.
