How long / much to change this out on my max...

Need a few winter repairs for my 2000SE. How long should it take in labor hours and then the cost (about $75 per hr. labor is the norm here). Also, if anyone has recently had the below parts replaced, how much did it run you for parts price.

-New Alternator
-Front driver side axle boot
-rear set of brake pads
(-possibly the whole front axle)

I'll have to get all of this done this week, so if anyone has had this kind of work let me know.

You can easily complete that in a weekend and that is relaxing with an umbrella drink while doing these repairs. However, at a reputable shop if they give your car the full attention should be able to do this in under a day two max.

$199 from raxles.com atleast when I ordered mine a month ago. And price really comes down to your personal choice (especially on pads).

FYI: Advance Auto also sells new axles (O'Reilley and AutoZone are both rebuilt). Mine were $80/each, IIRC. But I've heard Raxles are top-notch, just didn't have the cash.

Axle is going to require
unbolting your rim,caliper, and axle bolt.
Getting your axle separated from the rotor.
More then likely taking your y-pipe off, or somehow removing the axle from its bracket right above the y-pipe.
Separating the axle from the trans, and pulling it out
repeating in reverse the above, and making sure you didn't lose too much tranny fluid

only newbs take off the y pipe. it can easily be done with it on. no tranny fluid came out of mine(auto). and if it were to you should drain and refill and use this as a time to change out the gear oil anyways...
