Sybill the SDL kicked my butt (took a couple of days) when I changed her axles but that was because at some point the stupid PO used the Incredible Hulk to install the wheel lugs and the recessed socket-head bolt that was part of the anti-torque arm on the subframe decided to strip out.

I cannot imagine it taking much more than a couple of hours to do an axle on a W123...maybe a little more on the left side because you have to remove the exhaust over there.
