Ken, that's exactly the way the guy I paid did it.

Thanks,
Alot of GREAT info/post over the last couple of days. Now I know were I stand on the subject. Knee deep in a aligator pond! If I decide to do it on my own, I will let you all know how it goes

Pat, you can see why I was hesitant. But with your background you may be able to pull it off. If you decide to do so, keep in touch. I will help with any procedure or info that I can. I have done a lot of rear ends. But it's not for a rookie without the background. Just be sure you have a shop manual and can get the shims, etc. before you start. A good job will last for years. A fair job will work but make noise. A bad job can not only destroy the rear, but the housing as well.

Just what you need, more food for thought.
