probably about a half hour.... maybe a little moe if you've never done it.

Here's a pretty good write up.

Make sure the big snap-ring goes into the SECOND GROOVE when you re-install it....screw this up and you'll need a new tranny !!!!!

Read this post here. There's an outer grove, then a little farther in there's a second grove for the retaining clip that holds the whole piston assembly in place. Make sure it goes in the grove that's farther into the case, otherwise things will not pressurize correctly and parts will break.
