That seems about right. It all depends, however, on the conditions of the old springs. If they are very brittle, and most of them are broken off already, it might take a lot longer just to remove the old ones than it does to install the new ones. ?

I need to give a guy an estimate. I looked in Joe Garrett's labor guide and it says four hours. Seems to me it took me a lot longer than that - but maybe I'm slow - and besides, my memory ain't what it used to be (I think). Any opinions on labor time once the action is in my shop? ? Thanks. ?
