I did mine in under 4 hrs (air tools and gear wrenches), but would not quote that time to a customer...
The job is a moderate PITA & I ran into zero complications. (stuck bolts/studs/nuts/alternator/etc)
I would say 5-6hrs and ~$300+ in labor. Anyone under that price point is a really good deal...
you wouldn't want to drive up to New England to get this done for me...would ya?
