I think it took about 2/12 hours - but next time I think I can do it in one. Good luck, and think of all the money you're saving.
This was one of the first repairs I was faced with and I didn't have a garage I could work in at the time so I took it to my now indy mechanic. He did it for about 500 bucks with parts and labor. From what I understand it's not a diffI cult job it's just a pain. I'm good for a while but I'd consider taking it to him again for it
