Did mine a couple of weeks ago. Took me forever, as I had to extract a bolt I broke overtightening them a while ago. Whole process, without problems, should take a half hour, tops.

The best advice I can offer, is to use a torque wrench. The FSM states 18lbft, I tightened them down to 20 to be safe. Anything more than that, and those bolts WILL break.
