Re: is there a write up on a rear end swap? goes somethin like this
jack up car, take off rear cover, rotate rear until you see the small bolt for the large pin in the center of the posi, take out this bolt and tap the pin out of the posi, after that you should be able to push in the axles to release the c clips and then pull out the axles.
that should get you through it.

p.s. I think Dave is explaining the only complicated step in a rear swap. You have to pull the axles to get the rings removed and pressed on the new axles.

Re: is there a write up on a rear end swap? well, my folks bought me a 30 gallon 6hp air compressor with 3/8" drive impact gun and wrench
I can bring that, but i don't have any sockets.

Re: is there a write up on a rear end swap? ok,
here's what i have.
stock 7.5" with 3.23s in the car.
I have another complete rear 7.5" with 3.42s minus the backing plates.
i just like to have instructions to go by, just in case.
