How long do you wreckon it will take a Mechanical Work shop to fit a R&P and an ARB air locker with all new bearing and seals

You should be able to pick it up the same day if they know what they are doing.

yeah id say bout 4 hours

thats what I thought to, I think they must get there in the morning and stand around it in a hudle and poke and probe it a bit and work out which bolt there going to take off then call it a day

8 hours to do my ute front and rear

it depends if it is front or rear as fronts need the hubs all that pulled off. rears are easier if full floating but still easier than fronts.

if it is a 'regular' mechanical workshop and you've asked for all new bearings, chances are they've done the work pulling/reinstalling your diff centres, then outsourced the differential work - so add in time to courier your diff, tome for the diff shope to fit it into their schedule, and the regular workshop dicking around, I wouldn't be surprised if the turnaround is 3 - 4 working days.

for a shop that knows what they're doing, if not intalling new bearings, drive in - drive out should be about 4 hours, maybe a little longer for a front. if installing new bearings, the pinion height adjustment might take a bit of fiddling, allow an extra hour. my record for a landcruiser full floating rear drive in - drive out (new carrier bearings only) is a shade over 2 hours but they are about as easy as they come.
