i'd say about ten hours. you'll need a 3/8", 1/4" and a 22 mm deep impact socket


without ever seing the set up on a metro, i couldnt honestly say. if its similar to a nova (tapered roller bearings) about an hour, but if its different, then i really dont know. trya metro owners forum or buy yourself a haynes manual. or even easier, take it to a garage and let them do it for you.

iirc from when we had a metro back when we was poor. it had a very very similar setup to the nova.
