is it just a side job thing or you at a repair shop? most shops charge average of around $80 an hour, so that would be 80 x 2 hours = 160. if your just a backyard mechanic doing side jobs may want to charge a bit less, just my opinion. $50 an hour isnt bad at all so hey if it takes 4 hours then no problem. if you do it in 2 hours and quote 4 then it would probably be unfair then. kinda an iffy situation i guess.
