Not long. 1 bolt on retainer & it just pulls out of block. Note firing order before you pull any wires. Find #1, go around cap terminals tracing them to each cylinder. Should be something like 1,8,5,3,6,4,7,2. Bump eng to tdc on damper so no. 1 firing. Use crank bolt & can do by hand (clockwise) Mark no 1 on cap. Note position of housing in relation to manifold & mark. Remove cap & note position of rotor to nearest ref point & mark. Now pull it & replace. When you drop it in the gears will mesh & will engage oil pump so will turn almost 1/4. Sometimes you have to turn oil pump slightly if it gets bumped. you can use a super long screwdriver & turn the slot.You may have to stab it in a few times to get it in right position. Now throw wires back on, start & set timing. have fun:)
