Depends who is doing it ... how careful they want to be ... how **** they are ... how knowledgable ... whether they stop for tea ... etc. etc.

If it was me, I would allow myself 3 hours to get it out, 2 hours to strip, 3 hours to re-build and 4 hours to get in and running again. Clearly, a well sorted Specialist could do it far quicker than I ever could.
