It is doable in a day, but review your reading, start early with cold car, and have some Permatex Super Blue or Gray Ultra. I have done this job three times now. This last time I followed advice from this board and used Super Blue to sort of "embedd" the O-rings on the short tube that connects the pump to the engine block. It allowed the O-rings to slip into place better and I hope it will keep them sealing longer.
If you are like me - slow and careful and clean and check things as you go - it might take you most of the day. I split mine into two half days like Dano described.
