No you don't need a spring compressor but you do need to take the brakes
and hubs off the stub axle otherwise you can't unscrew the trunnion.  The
lower control arm just needs to be supported by a jack when removing the
trunnion itself.  Time wise, well depends on how fast you can work in
getting the required bits off, but I would plan on at least half a day to
do both -

It takes only an hour to pull the trunnions off?  And, um, putting them
back on takes how long?  One does need a spring compressor for this, right?
What sort did you use?

That's four questions, isn't it?
Thanks.
