It's actually a very easy change out I was there during the process when my car was done It was actually very easy unlike the Suzuki ario that I'm working on right now forget it

 

Very easy?

Last time i serviced Egr + intake manifold+ oem front and rear struts+ tranny atf ws drain/refill. Took me 7+ hours and i walked like a dead man for the next couple of days.

 

Yes engine was up and out of the car and seemingly no time hour and a half or something. And then on the way back in that's when all the prep work has to get done swapping over things from the other motor components needed etc . While things are out of the engine bay You have a chance to clean some things blast off stuff with the pressure washer whatever so it always takes a little longer to put it back together because things like this are going to go on especially if it's your own car. If you're working on somebody's mess then no cleaning and nothing has to be done because well it's not yours you know that's the mentality there by most places they're not going to spend a lot of time cleaning and tidying and tying back cables and getting things ready to go back anyway just the way of the world.
