Are you kidding? 45 min with lift, 1.5 on the ground with an engine beam and lowering the subframe. I pulled the whole damn drivetrain in 1.5 two days ago. I JUST bought that beam, I used to use a 4x4 1/4 sq tubing and chain. Can do it with a 4x4 piece of wood and chain too ;)

Lift car
Drain oil
buy one of these
Engine support beam
unbolt subframe and let it hang from the strut housings
Remove pan and out new one on.

I did this swap on the side of the road with a 4x4 piece of wood/chain, a jack and some blocks to hold up the front end of the car. Took about 2 hours since I was alone.
