THere's nothing to the swap, really. Since you're going to get new u-bolts anyway, I would use a sawz-all to cut the old ones off. Be careful, tho, cuz they do pop due to the pretension in the bolt - nothing that will hurt you, but it scared the crap out of me the first time! Use a floor jack under the pumpkin to lower and roll the old rear end out.

You decided against the gear swap?
