depends on how rusted your bolts are and if you have air tools then it would take about 25-30 mins if not about 2 hours its probley the next easiest thing to puttin on a intake

I had one once that it was rusted so bad that you couldnt keep a socket on it cause it would round off but in that case I just cut the bolt off cause your using new ones anyways
