has anyone changed their stock gears in the 10 bolt to 3.73 gears i was wondering if you need special tools to do it or if you have any tips/sites to get gears or to give easy directions

I also did mine myself in my driveway, and it was a big pain in the ***, but it is possible. Get a cheap dial indicator to set your backlash, its only $10 from harbor freight. Youll need a bearing press and seperator for the pinion and bearing every time you change your shim. Start with a .035 shim... I got lucky and the .035 was perfect on my 4.10s.
