prop,diff,driveshafts . rear suspension ,exhaust,arb , all in 2 1/2 hours,no way- you could be 2 hours removing 1 seized bolt even with gas and lift/rattle guns.
maybe on a brand new car with a decent mechanic who knows what there doing lol

Last one I changed took about 3 hours, but that was on a ramp and with a couple of very rusted bolts.
