I know many different opinions but good place to buy from?

look everywhere. Any good videos on how to remove?

and last one I and near romeo Michigan.

or anyone close and a good mechanic.
I will pay a local helper to help me one weekend . Don’t worry I have all the tools we will ever need

Rebuilding is certainly less expensive than replacing..... Do you have something else to drive for a while? A place to work on it? Good selection of tools?? If so, do it yourself. That way, you KNOW what's put into it, and the condition of every part.
