Well I didn't keep accurate per minute records, but to sum it up, it took me about 2 hours to pull it, and an hour at the alternator rebuilder, and about an hour putting it back on. The reason it too me 2 hours to pull it was half the time was studying it. They look more complex than they are.
SO if it took me 4 hours, I'm guessing a real pro could do it in 2 hours or thereabouts. WIth the $1000,00 labor quote I had, the tech was trying to get $500.00 per hour is how I figure it. $1600.00 was the lowest quote I had which included a new $640.00 motor.
