I have a Badger 5 1/2 H.P. disposal which is leaking from the reset switch and a couple of other spots on the bottom. I've been told it's probably the flywheel seal. Is it worth trying to replace this, or just buy a new one for $80.00+? Thanks!

Just that seal is not available separately anyway, it only comes already installed in the upper end bell housing (along with the bearing). And no, such a job is not usually worthwhile on the cheaper disposer models unless it is still covered by warranty.
