   slowest garage ever^^^^^^^^^^^^^
   
   
   takes about 20 mins in total for 1 side mate, if they know what they are doing but since its a garage i am guessing they will

   probablies no more than 30 mins on each side
   
   make sure they use new seals too
   
   Tbh its an easy job if you have the tools
   
   Drain the gearbox oil
   
   Bottom balljoint bolt out
   
   Balljoint splitter to get it off
   
   Hub nut off, unstake it, get someone to press the brakes whilst you undo with a breaker bar
   
   I usually take the brake carrier bolts out and tuck it out of the way
   
   You should be able to just pull it out
   
   The drivers side is a bit more work as its an intermediate bearing on some models, very simple to do though, undo the nuts, the lug bolts are then turned 180 degrees to remove the shaft
