That was my first time there, so it's not like I knew the guy, he knew DIYers were getting ripped off. I haven't been back, but that's because it's not convenient.

Thanks for all the sites, I have a big spreadsheet with a number of parts I need, I will post the results of my price comparison in a couple days or so.

Until then, somoene answer this: If you need 9 flywheel bolts and your not supposed to reuse them, why don't they sell them in convenient 9-packs? Sure sell singles if you strip them out but, jeez, what a PITA!
