springs and shocks, about 1/2 hour each corner. Bushes add a bit, say half
hour each end to get the linkages off an on and maybe another half hour
total pushing bushes in and out. Extras: half an hour to replace bolts in a
turret seat when the feckers ... ditto to remove a broken bolt in the rear
spring seats... a stuck bolt in a silly place in the radius arms or wotever
could hold you up half an hour as well.
erm... lessee, that's about 3½ hours plus.
>fit new exhaust from manifold back.
'bout an hour. Extras here can run to at least half a day to remove the
manifold, drill out a broken stud and replace it.
.... 4½ ...
>fit 4 recon injectors,
half an hour, with the right tools, maybe more if any of 'em are seriously
stuck.

check: 5 minutes each. replace, dunno. at least half an hour each, I
expect.

half an hour.
....6½ , could run to a couple of days, if the luck's against you.

well, maybe. Or he might be busy on a panic job for someone. Yerman
Hannaford, for example, does breakdowns, and those take priority; since he's
a one-man-band, once he's out on a breakdown, there's no-one there.
