Start early and it should be entirely possible to do in a day. Probably depends on how prepared you are and if you encounter any difficulties in removing the housing from the tank. My car was parked outside and I was delayed by rain for a while when I started the job.

If you read the PDF I posted you will see that I had to improvise and fashion a tool to loosen the sender housing. I was expecting to be able to use the long nose pliers handle (as per the video you posted) to loosen the fuel gauge sender housing but it did not work for me. That cost an hour or so...

Also, I tend to be slow and take my time. I advise not rushing due to the age of the plastic. That housing is very expensive to relpace.
