My old S8 had the bolt on type which saves removing the upright to press the bearing out in the other - if yours has this type it will take half the time or less.

However, if you have the press in type, the upright needs to be removed, you will also need to remove the pinch bolt holding the top arms in place which (if ALu upright) not an issue as rust weld not present, but the normal steel ones can be a major PITA, so take it someone who has done a few, as like everything, experience helps!
