Dedpends on the condition... Mine took upwards of 8 hours to do both fronts. Probably about 1/3 of that time was on extraneous stuff though such as driving to my dads shop and the such. Ended up having to replace a hub assembly with it since it was bad too.. Could be half hour... could be more. Was an absolut beyotch to pull stuff outta my axle then to get the joints out. Putting them back in took about 30 minutes.
