Flywheel Machining

Flywheel Machining
I ordered a CON OFE for my NV5600 truck. SB says to have the flywheel resurfaced, and with the pilot bearing upgrade I'll need to enlarge the hole.
I plan on doing the swap myself and I am planning on two days (I figure I will install the AirDog and diff cover all at the same time).
I have access to a lift and tall transmission jack so it should be fairly easy, but I have to have the machine work done on the flywheel.
How much should this work cost at an automotive machine shop? If I walk in, how long will it take them? Should I call before I start the removal so they know I'm coming down? Will I need shims made to correct for whatever material they remove?
Thanks

heres what I now bout it
the flywheel isnt flat............dont let any ol machinest do this cuz its different and he could screw it up
yes the pilot bearing will need machined to recieve the new pilot bearing
I dunno bout cost but should be say 2 hrs worth
no shims needed
you have specific instructions that came with yer SB clutch.....make sure to get them to the mackinest and make damn sure he understands them

Mine cost $65. Don't let them "resurface" it. It needs to be ground. The stocker has a taper to it that needs to be taken out is all. I agree, take it to a place that knows what they're doing. Southbend has an installer lookup on their web site. I would look there first for a guy near you.
