You kinda get the hang of it after you've done it a couple of times. The first one I did must have taken eight hours of beating, banging, prying, kicking, and jacking, using floor jacks, bottle jacks, pry bars, 2 x 4's, and anything else I could get my hands on. Like Kremit said, the problem is not getting them apart, but getting them back together. Just after I finally got my first one re-installed, I discovered that my driveaxle had slipped out in the process, and I had to tear everything apart again. Now that I've changed them about half a dozen times, instead of taking eight hours each, I can probably do one in 7 hours and 40 minutes.
Nah, two hours is plenty.
