An 8mm Allen, Torque wrench, and new tty axle bolts. Pretty straight forward. Don't even need to remove the wheels. Lift the car, unbolt the axle to stubs on either end and remove. Install new axle and torque all the tty bolts to 60ft lbs. per the TSB for loose rearend bolts.

Yep, very easy to do.

We have replacement bolt kits on our web site if you need some.

THanks

If I can do it, anyone can. Don't forget to use a little locktite on the bolts.

YES, or your bolts will fall out and you will hear clank-i-ty clank under your car... (I know this from personal experience)

Don't need to use loctite on the new tty bolts from the factory. They come w/loctite on them.
