   few hours to fit
   1st time i did mine it took me 10 hours ON MY OWN with only 2 trolley jacks, but that was to take my knackered one off, swap calipers and brake lines onto new axle and fit back to car.

   Easy enough providing you can get the brake lines undone from the bugger. If you cant you'll need a flaring tool, fittings and pipe to run more lines which can be a pain in the arse.

    why exactly are people disconnecting the brake lines? take the calipers off with lines attatched and then move them out the way...
