How long do would you say it took start to finish?

It took me 4.5 hours, including replacing the drop link on the same side. 15 minutes of that was getting the tools out, and finding the right ones, and 30 minutes was cleaning up afterwards, so you could do it in 3.5 hours with good preparation and good luck freeing all the bolts off.
If you have a decent inspection pit or a ramp, you could do it quicker again. I must have spent a good 20 minutes wriggling in and out from under the car to get at those rear bush bolts and 10 minutes trying to get the circulation back in my legs.
The 2 hardest parts of the job today were freeing the ball joint out of the subframe, and the slow tedious job of getting the bolts out of the rear bush. Its not hard its just that the spanner only moves a few degrees each turn, hence why a ratchet spanner is a great idea.
