My experience is that the rack job (first time) was about 12 hours vs 10 for
the (first time) heater job.  You should also replace the damper.  Make sure
you have at least 36" of 1/2 drive socket wrench extension for dealing with
the banjo bolts.  You can best access them from the right wheel well with
that long wrench.
