a good shop with the proper tools should not take any longer than 2 hours.

The problem is if the PS pump is a ZF unit or the other supplier, not sure anymore which one. But one of the PS pumps requires the pump to be taken off and dissassembled to get the new pully on. Takes like 3 hrs just to do this alone.

Does The Pulley You Have In Your Hand , Thread On Or Press On. If The Pulley Presses On Then It Shouldnt Take That Long. Even If The Pulley Was Bolted On, It Shouldnt Take That Log. I Have Never Seen A Pump That Has To Be Taken Apart To Install A Pulley. I Think Someone Is Jerking Your Chain.

The PS pulley is the hardest but didn't have to come out (I ended up getting someone else to pull that part off). The others (alt and water pump) took 10 minutes. While the other took close to two hours using WD40 and a puller. So, I would say 2 1/2 hours tops.
