I thought it would be a thirty-minute job but it turned into almost three hours.

Probably the most time-consuming part was disconnecting the gas line from the old stove which was waaaaay over tightened. I finally had to put vise-grips on the flare nut ans slip my 20" length of 12 ga. Shotgun barrel over the vise-grip handle to use as a breaker bar.

A real PITA... but that's what we do for our kids.
