Fronts take about 1 to 1.5hrs. Rears take about 20 minutes. Do them at the same time.

Good point.....Ive been told by many people that being awesome is my best trait, my only real flaw is that I may be too humble.

the only thing i've been worried about is tightening the bolts to required torque. how do you know when it's tightened enough.

I did that, took the rears off and replaced them in 20 minutes, the next day I did the fronts in about an hour and a half.
