Well,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, If its a solid rear and it not making any strange noises, I seriously recommend doing ALL the work your self.
If I can do it, anyone can. I did the entire power-train up-grade on jack stands.
Here are three post for some light reading:
- C5, ragtopws6 , Upgrading your C5 rear with C6 Z06 guts, : http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c5-g...-z06-guts.html

- C5, Its_Go_Time, Output Shaft Install - Left and Right: http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c5-t...post1573407966
- C5 Differential Seal replacement: http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c5-g...on-photos.html
If you have a high mileage C5,,, make SURE to change the differential clutch packs and beleiview springs along with the seals.
Anything above that level of rebuild as outlined in the links, requires SPECIAL tools for diff alignment
