Re: gears

Patience, grasshopper.

I think you could do it.

The fear with rear gears stems mostly from ring & pinion swaps and setup. It's not rocket science but you have to know what you are doing and easier explained in person.

In your case you will be removing the diff carrier, swapping the spider gears and going right back together in the same configuration. You should be ok as long as you don't drop or move any of the carrier shims and go back together the same way it came apart.

The spider gears are "rolled" out and then back in position using the differential action but you should be able to figure it out once you have the parts in hand.
