Now, I have three things wrong with my Alero still. I am not really in the mood to work on it now or ever, as I just don't want to work on this thing anymore. Now my sensor in my right front hub is bad, blower motor resistor is crap, I believe, and my D side window reg is screwed up again on my coupe. Now if I would take this to the dealer how much would it cost to get this all fixed? I am not very trusting of most of the garages here, so I feel better taking it to the dealer.

Blower motor resistor you can do yourself. But for everything else? Probably looking around $600 for parts and labor. Not sure what an OEM hub runs, but isn't it around $300? I know Timkens at AZ are under $100.

Just make sure if you replace the Blower motot resistor, you have someone small and nimble because it way in the back of the footwell about 1/4 inch away from the firewall and the far back bolt is next to impossible to get out. Well, it was for me anyhow.

Yeah, I took a look at the resistor housing and said I wasn't trying anymore. I am 6' and 200 pounds. I don't really like giving money to the dealer, but I think I am going to do it in stages. I'll get the regulator fixed first, since it is just a sensor with my hub. Then I'll do the sensor, and hopefully by then, I will have kidnapped the neighborhood kid and forced him to remove my resistor. I am just kidding, but I got a friend who is scrawny as hell, about 5'7" and maybe 130 pounds. I got a job for him.

I disagree I believe these are all somewhat medium easy projects. I have removed my hub with a floor jack and air hammer. Sensor right there by it. Got to get yor hands dirty sometime. Shoot a few scars or cuts on the hands just means that you did a damn good job. :thumbsup:

The wheel hubs from GM are about 300 but from an auto store they are about half that, and they aren't hard to put in if you have the time!
