How long does it take to change the head bolts and valve buckets

Apologies if this question has been answered a 1000 times.
However, I am planning on changing the head bolts to the ARP Studs (Weistec) just as a precautionary measure. How big a job is this, I have read they can be changed one at a time so no need to remove head? Is this true?

No you dont have to remove the heads to replace them. Pull one bolt out at a time and replace with a stud.
