Just be careful when bolting/unbolting the rear-end from the body...some
of the bolts thread right into the body, and if the threads on the body
get stripped...tough! I found that out trying to put my rear end back
on (it's a midget) ...and conveniently, the thing went up into a body
support beam, so you can't really get to the top to put a nut on!
Otherwise, it's an easy job, relatively!
