Body off billing time

Is 5 hours to get the body off and 5 hours back on reasonable for a LR specialist Indy?

Less than 5 to come apart, unless there are seizures to contend with... My D3 Build Thread

What about 10 hours off and on - reasonable?
If not what is a sensible estimate for a Indy that's done it before?

I would say 4-5 off and at least a few more on (need to refill and bleed all sorts of systems) based on when mine was removed.

it is also wise to do things like rear brake pipes at the same time. Joined the BMWX5 45e group

I paid £550 to take body off and replace rear camshaft oil seal then back on. The other work I had done was extra. That was with an indy Thumbs Up The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything;
