Getting ready to attempt replacing both rear brake hoses, left is leaking. How long should this take and what can I expect? Thanks in advance
 
I would not start the job with out fresh wheel cylinders. These fail sooner than the hoses
most of the time. The leak may well be a wheel cylinder......

Did mine a while ago. Don't recall any issues. May have soaked joints in penetrating fluid for a few days before to make sure they come apart easily. Had all my tools and parts ready to go and planned EVERY step so I could do the swap quickly (minimizing fluid loss). Flare nut wrenches recommended. Packed the area with paper towels to catch the leaking brake fluid.

Went like a charm. Re-bleed following
