If this is your first time... I'd say 10 hours minimum. It can be done in less, if you are good and have a friend or two to help out.

Do you know what you are doing? I have a step-by-step guide on how to change it.

5 hours... that's really be pushing it. I'd estimate large... 8hrs.

It can be done faster than that... but if he's never done one, I'd aim high, just in case.
