It's a pig of a job to do yourself, as the old ones can be tough to remove, but i can't see why it would take a proper mechanic 4 hours to do?
I think that's for complete removal and replacement, something which, having looked at what is required, I would not feel confident in trying myself.
I might be able to do the adjustment, however I've just noticed that the Haynes Manual says the bearings should be re-greased every 12,000 miles. Now I'm sure that that's way more frequently that actually needed, but given it's done about 60,000...!

That's what i was on about, replacing them.
2 or maybe 3hrs max for a mechanic that's done it before and has all the right tools at their disposal.
