Hey guys, im about to pull the rear end from my 83 firebird to swap to my new 88 gta project car. The rear has 157,000 original miles on it, so it could probably use some freshening up. I assume I should replace the bearings and gasket, but what else do I need to do? Will I need any special tools for anything? I have never rebuilt a rear end before.

 

puller, press, bearing seperator, "special tool" to hold pinion yoke, dial type in/lb torque wrench, mag base and indicator. if you have clutch type posi a new clutch pack might be in order.
