    Would it be a good idea for a novice pinhead with low experience to try a flipper rebuild on his pin?
    If this is a bad idea, how long would it take a pro to complete a flipper rebuild? just trying to figure out cost with labor.

    how much time should i put aside for the job. keep in mind, it took me 10h to wax my whole pf. i think i work slower than most.

    It is on my bop. the left flipper is week, and the right works good but must not be lined up right. As the ball roles towards the flipper from the side drain it bounces a little where it meets the flipper and messes up my shots. i figure a flipper rebuild is in order and its not too costly.

    thanks for all the advice, the rebuild went smoothly. the first one took me 2 1/2h to finish and the second took me 40min. Now i am one step closer to making my machine working at 100%.
    in the next week ill post some pics, cant wait to show my pinball brothers my first pin.
