Changing out a rear end - is there anything I am forgetting ?

So i found a rear end for $100 and im gonna put it in this weekend/week.

I wanted to find out if there is anything i am forgetting about.

As far as i know its pretty simple right ?

Take off/disconnect :

Wheels
Brakes/Lines
Drive shaft
Shocks
U bolts

No major tools needed right, nothing to crazy ?

note to self : on assembly put in bigger blocks in the back and drop that ass.

Thanks

That's it unless there is an anti-sway bar, which may or may not need extra attention to remove.

It's really quite a quick and easy job, if it weren't for all the rusted nuts and bolts. You never know, you might get lucky in that depertment though... [img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_lol.gif[/img]

You're going to alot of extra work. Why not just change the pumpkin? Unless your housing is bad.

Yeah, I wish.

the housing has these big cracks on either underside of the DIF, they leak and cannot be welded until totally clean and dry. By the time someone welds them and I pay them, i could do what im about to do.
