It is not difficult to rebuild a clutch. Takes a little equipment to do it right. To just replace friction discs is no biggie - you can sure do that on your own.
The spring height gauge is nice...BUT, you need to have smooth adjuster nuts with no knicks from chain rash or you'll get a false measurement. Now, a decent pair of dial calipers will be a good investment and you can measure accurately with those as well.
Sure, lots of shops can and will do it for less.
Our rebuilds are $50 +parts. That's probably pretty average I am thinking.
What you get with a rebuild seems to vary though. I see shops posting $100 all inclusive rebuilds and then you've got to wonder what all parts are being replaced...springs, shims, bearings, friction discs, floater plate??? Are you getting genuine Bully replacement parts or aftermarket? We offer stock and sell both. I'd rather bill out clutch rebuilds separately so that the customer sees exactly what he's getting and what he's paying for (labor +parts.)
If I can help you, give us a call here at our shop.
Martinbuilt and Jammer both offer rebuilds of Bully clutches as well and would come highly recommended.

The thing is, when you have someone like the above poster or other shops, they are usually better. They machine the pressure plates more exact than what they come new.

What I did is Laser cut three 1/4" plates about 4" long, at 0.175" ; 0.225"; 0.275" to check the spring height, but I still double check with a digital caliper............works fine for 2 years now.....................
