All depends upon which parts are used MK7 5 lug replacement rotors or SN95 front ? Rear 5 lug drum or disc brakes ?

The rear end is the easy part and goes pretty quick. Took me about 45 minutes.
With a SN95 front setup it all really depends on the tools you have. With the right tools you could do it in 1-2 hours. Also you'll have to adjust your alignment quite a bit. If you're just swapping in Mark VII rotors that takes 30min.
Helpful Tools: Ball Joint Separater Power Drill Air Tools(impact gun, air ratchet etc) Ratchets/Sockets/Extensions/Wrenches Breaker Bars 5/16" Wrench(for inside rear axle) Oil Transfer Pump Flarenut Wrenches Sledge Hammer One Man Brake Bleeder Kit(if installing by yourself) Several Floor Jacks and Jack Stands(if not using a lift)
Parts Needed: Rear Axles Rear Drums New Brake Lines SN95 Complete Front hub/spindle assembly
Things To Do: Alignment Bleed Brakes
This is just what I can think of off the top of my head. There may be more that I forgot.
