CamaroD got me thinking, how hard will it be to swap rears on a 2000 formula? I have destoried my ten bolt and want to get the car up and running by the weekend anyone know if I will deffinately need a lift? or can I do it in the driveway?



I am trying to figure out how hard and how long it will take me to swap rears I am not a mechanic but I have a good head on my shoulders could someone give me some insight? thanks boys

Swapping complete rears is a breeze. Just leave the whole brake system in the car by unhooking it all from the rear end in one complete piece. Everything else is very straight-forward. Fully assembled they are over 200 pounds, so they can be kinda heavy to manuver alone. Have a friend there to help you....
