About 16 hours, That was running and getting stuff and taking breaks. I tried to take my time. feel great now that it is all done and works great. Also an impact wrench works great.

I like to take my time also (which is a blessing and a curse) and if I get too frustrated I'll walk away, have a beer, come back later. Thats the problem with doing a job this long and it being your only vehicle.

Of all the things you did what was the one thing that helped the most in removing the hub and the ball joints? or one thing you wished you woulda had.?

I am glad I got the gear puller, that helped alot. Ball joints were not that bad. Make sure you put everything back on so you dont have to pull the hub again! (abs sensor and dust shield) I also shot some grease with a needle down the abs hole.
