Well, the minimum time they're going to charge you is one hour.. So.. anywhere from $75 to $90 an hour. Should be a one hour job. I'd call your repair shop for an exact estimate. Exact estimate?? That sounds oxymoronic They should give you an exact price for parts & labor.

IIRC, the labor time for a harmonic balancer replacenent, not including the seal, was 1.1 hours flat rate.
