Depends upon how focused you are on the job. With heavy-metal blasting in the background, I can do CV joints at about 20-30minutes each...

Only thing I have to say about CV joints is make sure those hex bolts are CLEAN before you go and try to remove them. Use degreaser or something like that to get in there and really clean it out. Then, get the proper tool (can't remember size off-hand, maybe 8mm?). You do NOT want to strip one of those bolts.

Matt, your right it is a 8mm 12 point.
The first time I did it it took about 3 hours from start to finish. Actualy its a fairly easy job. Just make sure to clean the heads of the bolts FIRST!!!

Good luck
