Honestly man it's pretty straight forward, as long as the rear end is already fully assembled. Don't worry about the weight, it'll be worth it when it doesn't break!

Taking out the old 10 bolt was nothing for me. Installing the S60 was also straight forward. Everything bolts right on to stock location. But you do need an extra person and a good quality trans jack of some sort. Good luck.

I used a cheap transmission jack. A decent floor jack would work but might take a little longer. As everyone said it's a drop in. Except for the drive shaft. That will need to be modified.
