Depends how good of a mechanic you are. You're gonna have to tear down the front half of the motor. I'd say a good 3-4 hour job.

About 1.5 honestly jusy have to pull the water pump balancer take all the bolts.on the cover off and unbolt the alt bracket and slide it fwd.to get to the last bolt on the timing cover bolt after that the oil puck yp is held on w one 10 mm bolt but becareful it Doesnt get dropped in the pan my suggestion is a racheting 10 mm wrench in one and and a magnet in the other next to the bolt unbolt the 4 10 mm hold the pump on and after that u have to twist the oil pump clockwise to unseat the o ring once. It pops out it slides rite off

Id say 1.5 hours to get too, and 5 hours to get off!! Lol! I ended up having to disassemble the pump to get it back on. So much easier.

Took two days for my dealership to replace mine. They had to order it and I swear it took longer to get the paperwork done then the replacement.
