Jim, I like to put new bushings in the new rearend (if they are not there already) as I have never been able to take bushings out of a rearend without hurting them.
Removal is quite easy,I use to remove the items like this: parking brake cables, Brake hose Lower shock mounts Drivveshaft off (put a plug or a spare yoke in the trans so it wont leak) I like to loosen the a-arm bolts before rising the car Raise the car under the pumpkin and put it on jackstands (at the frame) Lower the jack a bit and take the a-arm bolts out and watch the rearend fall to the floor (I did it laying underneath and thats NOT reccomended :O) Take the a-arm and springs off and move them over to the new rearend. And start reading backwards from here Take it easy because its heavy Have Fun André -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of J.
