Good on you for having a go!

Next time you do it though, you don't need to take off quite as much as you have this time

That is what the dealer is allowed to charge LRA under warranty. IT's putting it back together that takea the time (bleed brakes, fill aircon, coolant etc.) â€œThere are only three sports: bullfighting, motor racing, and mountaineering; all the rest are merely gamesâ€

RTS allows 6.3 hours to remove and refit for an auto, or 6.5 for a manual.
That said though, book times are a joke...

To renew all injectors on the LH bank - 2 hours...
To renew all injectors on the RH bank - 1.5 hours...

To replace all 6 injectors... 1.3 hours...

That was the first example off the top of my head. There are many more like that
