8 3/4 rear end confusion

the housing can stay in the car.

pull the axles out, drop the drive shaft, and then undo the 10 nuts and pop the center section right out.

and by right out, i mean grunt and cuss and have something ready to catch it. or use a jack. them bishes be heavy. you'll need a new gasket, unless you raw dog it and just silly-cone that bad boy back.
