If all you were going to do was change pumpkins,I'd say go for it, its a lot of work but doable.But to change out the ring and pinion takes some specialized talent and tools to do it correctly.

Definitely a lot of labor. Personally, I wouldn't attempt it without a lift.

Ah come on, live a little..

I did the diff swap in my garage w/o a lift, just jack stands, no problem.. So have a lot of other C5 owners.. There are at least two members here that have created extensive documentation w/ pictures detailing the procedure.

If you have the tools, patience, time and ability, go for it. Better than spending big $$ just to have a dealer scratch your ride (or drop it off a lift, or..)
