Have the right tools and it should be able to be done in a day. Two if you don't have the tools and have to go looking to buy or borrow them. As said the shafts can be a real pita. I got my shaft bushings off with the arms off of the truck by standing on one end of a 3/4 drive ratchet and pounding on the control arm with the other foot. You will need a pitman arm puller and some kind of press for the lower ball joints. Some guys pound them in and out but I wouldn't. You can buy a c clamp type press for on the vehicle use that works very well for under a hundred bucks.
