Its easy even if you have not done it before. A drunk monkey could do it in less than 5 hours.

Takes all of 2 hours... maybe less if you have a lift.

Because it takes longer to torch or hack saw a bolt off as apposed to just putting one on.

Everything is just so easy to do. Not really. First off unless you have a lift its not so easy and quick to get the job done. And you ALWAYS run into problems. Im sure the bolts are frozen on and usually need to be cut off. SO give yourself at least 3-4 hours start to finish. Start to finish means from getting tools out and jacking up the car, to putting everything away and cleaning up.
