I would imagine it would take somewhere between 4-8 hours depending on resources available and knowledge/experience level.

No experience? It may take you 4 hours just to figure out how to get the quill feed gears out. There is a sequence and a method to dismantle without destruction.

We posted at the same time - let me review your rebuild requirements.

What is your experience level? I assume it is limited - hence the questions.

I think this is a difficult thing to answer based on the info given.

How fast can you rebuild a V-8? The NHRA guys can do it in an hour while it takes me a long weekend and I have ample experience. They have the set-up and they work like a clock - I do not. I think the same is true here.

If you have everything ready to go, it can be done relatively quickly, but if not then it could turn into a three week affair.

I would not recommend rushing this - you can render a slightly sloppy spindle completely useless in haste.
