Default Rear Disc Conversion Removal

i have searched and i have found many threads regarding 99-00 civic SI rear disc conversion. but i did not find out the approximate time of the removal of the parts i need. what im asking is how long will it take to remove these parts from the car itself. a buddy of mine rolled his 99 SI and has parted out the car. well i have the opportunity to score the rear brakes from this car for free as long as i remove the conversion myself (he is also giving me the parts to convert my climate control to the 99 style). problem is he borrowed a trailer to haul the car to the junkyard from a construction friend of his and the construction company needs the trailer back asap so i must do this tonight instead of doing it this sunday (which i have the day off) as orignally planned. i work till 7 this evening and will be making the hour journey to his house to remove these parts. i dont want to be out in his garage all night and have to make the hour drive home only to have to get up at 8am tomorrow morning to go to work. could any of you guys shed some light on how long its gonna take me to remove these parts? thanks in advance guys


also sorry for the long post.

It depends. If no bolts are stubborn, and everything comes out easily, a couple of hours should do it. But if you run into problems, which is highly likely with the e-brake cables (they can be a huge pain in the ***), then you are looking a several more hours. But it also depends on your skill level and how fast you work.

I know that wasn't the best answer, but everyone and every car is different.
