Having recently done this task, I reckon you should plan about 32 hours... roughly 2 weekends.

Of course, in between taking it out  and putting it back, you might have to wait for some parts....

If you have the tools, time and room to replace every thing then i would say it can be done in full day...:yes

It can defo be done in a day mate. A mate of mine on here (davehg) took his out, rebuilt it and re-fitted it in a day all in his single garage/driveway!...

It was a 15 hour day mind :Laugh
