Took me about 45 minutes to an hour. That was taking my sweet time. With air tools, 30 minutes tops.

Most shops go a minimum of 1 hour from any job. That should be all it takes.

I had my ASP crank pulley installed at a shop for $40. It took him about 20 minutes to remove and install the new pulley and belts.

whatever the book says on how long it will take is how long they will say it will take and they will charge you for that, even if they dont take that long
