First, as I've mentioned many times, the proper repair information is needed. That's going to be true with just about any type of repair for any component. If you already know it, fine. If not, read a manual.
In response to some of your comments:
You stated "unless he knows the theory behind the workings of the pump" . . .
A proper Stanadyne tech-manual will thoroughly explain all that. Does it verbally and also has many photos and illustrations. You can buy it for $50 and also often find it for free on the Net in a PDF file.
You also stated "you are not going to get all this in a rebuild kit for the price that has been quoted on here " . . .
Well, how many times have I stated that there is NO such thing as a "rebuild kit" and the kit mentioned is only a seal kit. Aren't you being a bit redundant here? Or maybe did not actually read what I wrote ??
In your penultimate comment - "there is only one guy in our state that can get them close without test stand . . "
So, I guess you know every person in your state, along with a full awareness of their personal mechanical skills? That is beyond ridiculous. Is there some esoteric law in your state that requires anybody that works on a pump to file a official report on the outcome - so all residents are aware? Or, maybe can some guy down the road from you fix his pump successfully, and you'll never even know about it?? Tell me all about how you know what everyone in your state has done.
And your last comment - "About all the amateur is going to be able to do is dissassemble{sic} , clean and replace crumbled weight retainer ring. He won't know what else to even look for. "
If a person actually reads the tech manual, he/she certainly WILL know a lot more then that. In fact, since I've already mentioned eliminating that pellathane ring entirely, anybody that's read these posts already knows more.
You seem to have the typical arrogance that many in pump shops have. That is, "nobody in the world" can do the job, since it's so terribly complex. Give me a break! Different people have different skill levels, and that is in all walks of life. I like to think that many who bother to read these forums have a bit more interest and skill then the average person.

Today's Featured Article - Farmall 460: That's My Girl - by LeAnn R. Ralph. How many sounds can you think of that are as familiar to you as your own breathing? What about the hum of your refrigerator? Or the thump of your clothes dryer? Maybe the engine of your car? You hear those sounds every day, and you don't think much about them, do you. I can think of a few common, ordinary sounds in my daily life, too.
