Remember you have 3 "books" - Mitchell, Motors, and AllData - that are common.
Also don't forget 2 times:
diagnosis/pressure test
R & R

It's been a while so I can't tell you exactly but probably 2-3 hours on our cars...

Its a fairly simple thing to change, it took me 1hr 30min to do mine, that was with me having to go get the gaskets...

I'd have had it done quicker but the bolt that threads right out backwards into the pulley should've been put in first. 5 bolts later, oh what's this extra--- ****.
