Cartrdige replace time
#2
It took my mechanic 3.5 hours to do all 4.
So, figure about 5-6 hours for you, to be realistic.
Don't gey me wrong, I'm not saying that your hands are growing out of your ****. It's just the fact that non-pro will spend more time for many different reasons.

The rears will take longer than the fronts because you have to remove the rear seat to access the top bolts. If you're only replacing the strut you'll need a spring compressor...

Anyone know the approximate time it takes to change a strut cartridge? Maybe a factory service time guide or like... Got plans but before I play weekend mechanic, knowing the approximate work time will help.

rybikowsky...you are right, I get stuck in auto mode.
Mike, I expect the rears to arrive any day now. Curiously, any guesses at the life span miles wise the strut mounts last? Was looking at Tire Rack and thinking about pre-assembly although I'd need to get the dust boots and bump stops too.
