Depends on how much knowledge you have and how good you are with tools ?
May take someone 2 hours and others 2 days lol

If you remove the drive shaft it's a simple enough job 3-4 hours if you want to enjoy it!

However, if you've got that fault I suggest replacing the oil feed pipe (cause too may get choked up and bearing failure typically follows that fault).
