Time taken to replace radiator depends on a few techniques.

1.  with 6 pack (of favorite brew) in hand and several helpers (may need
case) this could take an entire Saturday.

2.  with just the six pack (or genereous coffee breaks) and no helpers it
could take half a day or a little more.

3.  just doing the drudgery of work it could take 2 to 3 hours. (depending
on bleeding.  (bleeding could refer to knicks, cuts, knuckles or to the
bleeding of the coolant system when done.)

Recommend new hoses when you replace the rad.
