The good book gives 2.3 hours to both ball joints on one side. 4.0 hours for
all 4. Add another hour for strut bar bushings if needed. More time may be
needed for the rust factor.

Forgot to mention: I live in Southern California, just north of San
Diego, in a burg called Carlsbad.
If you've ever been to coastal SoCal you'll know that our house lots are
barely larger than our houses. The driveway here, where Mellow Yellow is
parked, is a short one, and sloped. The neighbors would probably not
object to another Vanagon on the street, even with the top up, as a
place to live as long as it doesn't stay there for more than a few days
and I explained the deal to them beforehand, and maybe brought them some
fruit baskets or something.
