pretty much just have the car jacked up a few feet. Have it suported by the tires very important(ramps or wood blocks). Unbolt old one and bolt up new one. You might also need a good prybar cuz they dont always want to slide right in. Very simple install.

i was thinking that i can put the back of the car on jack stands and use my floor jack
to the hold the rear then move the jack stands and have the car on the jack

and you should never, ever, ever get under a car that is supported only by a jack......it's a good way to have it fall on you and kill you when the jack fails

however, once you need to adjust the pinion angle, you will want the car supported by all 4 wheels, at the same height off the ground, starting with a flat, level surface
one thing you'll want to do if it's hard as hell to pull the front mount out of the rubber bushing (like it was with mine) is spray some WD-40 or similar lubricant/penetrant and let it sit for a few minutes....after that, just a nice, sharp tug should be enough to get it to come out. if you need more of a grip, once you get the end that's bolted to the rear differential removed, just put one of the bolts back through the rear hole and put the nut on it to make a nice little handle to pull with.
