It really isnt hard. I have no idea where to find any material on this. I have learned by example. I watched a buddy several times. If you are using a currently built rearend. You just simply change out the chunk, and bearings being sure to use the same number of spacers and shims on each side of the new reaer as the old. I have never started from scratch on an 8.8 only a dana rear. Average number of times to put together and check a Dana rear is 7 times by the way. If you have 31 spline side gears, and a good center unit. all you should have to do is pull the cover, remove c-clips, brakes, and pull the axles out. slide in the new ones and put it back together. Unless you are planning on changing gears. It really is simple.
