Has anyone had any experience (good or bad) with a rear torsion tube replacement?

I have quotes from Stodard and GK Restorations, both very reputable shops, for $3-$5k using the correct frame bench to do the repair.

I was initially considering a DIY repair, but I'm afraid I might screw it up as the alignment is critical and the tolerances are very tight.

I've also found other shops that will do it for $1k (without a frame bench) but I might get what I pay for.

Should I bite the bullet and spend the $5k?
