Setting up a rear end is not exteemly difficult, but it takes both some very Heavy Duty tools to tighten the pinion nut to the correct tightness. You will also need a good sized vise and an inch pound torque wrench to test the effort necessary to spin the pinion afterwards and before reinstallation. If you are truely unfamiliar with this sort of thing it would be best to hand it off to someone who is. Remove the 5 bolts and lever it out as needed with 2 flat blade screwdrivers. Retain the metal shims and use them all when reinstalling. Contact a business in your area that specializes in rear ends and differentials, thats who you want to assist you. Get a new rubber "O" ring and lubricate it before reinserting the assembly into the "Pumpkin". Get a Speedy Sleeve to give the seal a fresh surface to ride on.
