Devan's a pro... here is Mello's Removal time trial:

I consider myself mechanically proficient but very meticulous, almost obsessive. But since this was my first time doing this, I studied and followed the manual.

1. Planning - 1/2 hour. This is to get familiar with engine parts, correlate the manual with actual components.

2. Removal - 1 hour. Tools required are wrench and sockets, a fine hobby needle nose plier, LOTS of rags.

If you recycle your injectors, the shipping time will take longer than service time. So I'm guessing 1 week. Meanwhile, clean & scrub all the parts since it will be dirty.

3. (optional) Cleaning - 1 hour depending how anal you are. I practically polished all the injector holes and cleaned surrounding cable & hoses.

4. Install - 1 hour. This is the easiest part but most critical. Make sure all the seals are well oiled and do not force any fitting and connection.

My estimates are worse case scenario. You all should be able to complete in much shorter time.
