FC Rear end swap DIY

any write ups on this? I'm picking a GTUs rear this weekend and wanted to know if there was a write up on how to swap it.

89 gxl if it matters

eh, its a PITA? you can get the diff out by itself with some fanagling.. i remove both subframe nuts, and pry it down onto jackstands to get it as low as possible, without coming off the studs. they unbolt the front/rear diff mounts and have fun trying to take that **** out.

or you can just drop the entire rearend. much easier to remove, harder to put back in.

if you leave the control arms attached to the subframe (and dont loosen the bolts), it should be fine.
