Aside from the grease, about a minute and a half.  Plus another three
minutes if you did it backwards the first time (it won't flex if the
center part is wrong way round).

But I sort of doubt a shop would charge less than half an hour just
to pick it up and set it down again.  Any special reason for you not
to just do it yourself?  42.8-9 tells you how to do it.  Some rags, a
can of Brakleen or similar and 90 grams of CV grease...
