Steer&Gear wants $345 to rebuild my steering box which, just my opinion, is way too much money. Do we know of anyone who does this well but at a more reasonable rate?

I had picked up another steering box when i was in the USA the worm drive and ball carrier was more than usable so I just replaced the seals gaskets and the top and bottom bearings and like I said I found a set of ball bearings that matched I really do think it was a piece of cake I cant see how they can charge that much unless they are replacing the worm and cage and I dont see how the cage can wear. The rebuild I did seems perfect to me. I tink the rebuild kit cost $35 and the bearings were $5.
