Mine took a 2 days in total to fit.....it is simple.....real easy if you have a plasma cutter....but an angle or die grinder is all you really need. Hardest part was making the mounting brakets.....a simple job but thats what took most of the time

Always is kimbo, when i was doing the zero turn, getting the brackets right seem to take forever. In my case, i like perfection, so they had to look like cox built them, also they had to work, they needed to be easy to remove if need be. Well worth the time and efford though.
