Well I had to work on mine in my apartment parking lot...LOL

I really don't know how long. I would say about 4 full months from the day I really started taking it apart. I took it apart originally..fixed what I thought was broken, then found out that wasn't the problem so I put it back together in frustration and left it alone for 2 months. Then recently wanted to get it fixed again.

Realistically I saved hundreds if not a few thousand dollars on doing it myself without having a tech or suby dealership do it. Airbag parts are very expensive if you have to buy new.
