front or rear? front's are easy, but plan on at least 1/2 hr/wheel overall

Default could be longer if the bolts are rusted>>>
especially the screw that holds the rotor on...PITA to get out and easily rounded if you do not take your tome...regardless, it is an easy job when patience is exercised...

Default Agree...That's probably a realistic flat rate time....>>
Though a good wrench can do it in less depending on beer consumption..:-)
