I replaced both front and rear lines on my bike (and pads) and flushed with fresh fluid by hand in a little less than 2 hours time. Rock hard lever and the bleeding process was relatively easy. Start bleeding at the calipers and work up to the master cylinder. It's a little tricky cracking the bleeder on the far side caliper while holding pressure on the lever, but it's not impossible. I honestly don't see why people think it's that hard of a job.
I back bleed from the calipers as well!
