It takes about an hour or two to do it cleanly and correctly. It really isn't hard work, you just have to be patient to avoid breaking anything...you gauge needles in particular.

If you do have the slide-over gauges then make sure they don't bulge out and block your needles from moving. That's what happened to me and I had to glue them to the old gauges to hold them down. It was a pain.
