Unfortunately, Buffalo doesn’t have a very strong rotary following. Check out [www.turborx7.com](http://www.turborx7.com), there is a list of reputable shops that can do a rebuild for you.

Thanks for the info. Has anyone dealt with the RX7 Shop in PA? I found remanufactured 13b with core for $1900.00 I am not sure if that means they will rebuild mine or they just send me a the reman and keep mine for core.

If you’re talking about KDR, I’ve heard mixed experiences with them. And I do believe that deal means you get a reman and keep yours for the core.

Contrary to popular belief, they are not that hard to do. I had my first one done but after tearing down the blown one, they are fairly simple. I will definitely rebuild the next one myself.

your right but there are so many small pieces and those little springs and the apex seals n shit, it might be a little harder for someone thats not a good wrench
