The first time through will probably take 6-8 hours for both sides. The second time will take 4. Not a hard job if you have the tools. 10 mm alan for the calipers. 18mm open end wrench for the ball joint nut. You need to read about breaking the ball joint free without damaging the boot. A little (a lot) research on this BB will make the job easy. If you take home more than $300 a day it may not be worth it, unless you're all Zen and want to get in touch with your car. If you can do the spring job you will be able to renew anything in your front suspension/brake system in the future, more money saved. Definately go for it, take your time, and do it right. Don't forget the lock-tite.
