It was a bolt in crate 12 bolt, unbolt 4 bolts...take old axle out, put new one in place and put 4 bolts back in. 18 hours? Axle was already assembled just needed to bolt calipers on and hook up e-brakes. I work slow and could have done it in less than 4 hours by myself.

That isn't even getting into the amount to replace the prop valve and bleed the brakes. I guess it was all the extra time he spent fabbing up that special U bend in the hard lines on the rear axle...that are going to need to be redone.
