Tips, Hints, Tricks on swapping rearend?
I am gonna be swapping out rearend's this weekend and was wondering if there was anything in particular I should note?
The new rearend is complete from hub to hub and has the brake lines, e-brake cables, shocks, sway-bar, and brackets still on it. I don't forsee any problems, or see why it should be any different than any other rearend swap really, but I have never swapped one on an F-Body before - and was just seeking any advice from the guys who have.
Thanks!

I did 2 rear swaps over the weekend - nothing major to look out for
I suggest cracking all the major bolts first so you don't need to reef on it when it's flopping around.
Have some wire hangers or cord for the calipers and PHR
good time to upgrade/update the bushings in the sway bar
lower slowly and watch all brake lines - they are connected to the axel in about 7 places, 3 metal clips on axel, 2 screws under the Lca supports - 2 brackets on the diff and one on top of diff
have fun - took me 2.5 to remove (first timer) - that was alone and included clean up and pictures. Ther re and re on the second car went faster but I had more bodies helping.
