How do you remove these things? Is there a special tool that you are suppose to have? Thanks.

Its called a big ass press. Aka, just take it in, cuz they have to be pressed out and in. I was in your shoes like a month ago.

Who does it for a good price? Pressed in and out with new ones?

motors by gosh does a good job, you have to heat the head and then press them out so the best way is to send it in!

How much does he do it for? Install and uninstall?

DG Motors in Hopkins for quality; Wagamon Bros in Columbia Heights for price.

You also need to heat the head up, or the head around the guide will crack, then you are sol. Bring it to a good machine shop that has worked on a dsm head before and you should be fine.

From all this, I would say if your looking for a price just call one of these shops and ask.

I have done a few heads my self but you need to know what you are doing so you dont mess them up. also oreillys machine shop does it cheap and we get a mitsustyle discount there only at the brooklyn center store
