I have received several quotes so far - $1,000 to $1,400.00.
The "freezer trick" applies to, or in the past applied to failed bearing caps in the oder drives. The lubricant would spatter all over the platter and freezing it, turning it upside down would allow the lube to fall off.

The money above sounds correct, we sent them a few hundred drives once and got a slightly lower cost, but thats about right.
