In my case with Schumachers, plugs 4 and 6 were no easier to change than they were with the Hedmans that were on the car before. I could change them from above but #6 was a major PITA and still is. Plug 7 is really tight to the tube, so much that you really need to use a thin wall socket instead of a thick wall plug socket.

If you decide to look at Ford rearends, do not fall for the old Versailles 9" that comes with factory discs. Yes it will bolt right in and it's the right width, but no the disc brakes aren't even as good as drums and if you don't use the parking brake religiously they will fall out of adjustment and stop working altogether.

I've got one here that came in my car. 4.11 track lock, complete, and had to pull it out because of the hassle of getting the rear brakes to work. The housing ends are rotated around so putting drum brakes on the housing or even a Wilwood kit just makes for more hassle.
