Changing Rear End Gears...HELP

If you have someone able to do the job right, go for it. But if not I wouldn't fear giving it a try. I did mine but have not yet driven the car to see if I did a good job or not. I have had to ask about a ton of things I've done but I have always found good help here. So if you get stumped ask. You will find a ton of people that are very experienced with things like this. You will need a dial indicator for the backlash, and a shim pack. A machine shop to press on the pinion bearing, and a impact to get off/on the pinion nut.etc etc...

You might be able to do it, but Jeff Chambers is giving you good advice. Rear ends are kinda like auto transmissions. We can help walk you threw it, but unless you have someone there to help you in person that has done it before....may not want to tackle it just yet.
