Default How long will it take to replace discs & pads on MY00 4 pots?

I've got new discs/pads to go on my Impreza and was wondering how long it will take to replace them. I'm guessing about 2 hours all in at the most as from what I've read its not too big a job. Ony worry is struggling to get the discs off.

Just thinking to have a go after work at 5pm or take an afternoon off.

Did mine in 45mins for 2 new front discs on MY00.
Seeing as you are replacing the discs you can always beat them with a hammer
They also have 2 threaded holes (not sure what size) so you can wind bolts in to lever the disc from off the hub.

Did the job last night and all went fine. Bottom bolt holding caliper on one side was pretty wedged in there and took a while to get moving.

Fine job, smooth braking and all for the princely sum of £120 not super duper stuff but perfectly fine for the time being.
