Should take about 30mins with basic hand tools.. Depending on how hard it will be to get the spindle loose off the control arm. You want to remove the brakes (caliper, pads, rotors) unclip the wss, remove the tie rod end, undo the 22mm nut on the lower ball joint and the 15mm on the upper ball joint and some motivation to come off and your done. Of coarse if you need to swap the hub it's 4 13mm bolts i believe and i recommend doing that with the spindle still on the car since it will have to be pounded loose.
