Default Any DTE rear install "How To"

I will shortly be changing out my 3.42 with a 4.10. I looking at the DTE Stage II. I'm trying to decide if I want to install them myself. How difficult is this install? I have looked around, but can't find any "How To's". Does anyone know where I can find detailed instruction on installing this rear?

It is fairly straight forward. Just a little time consuming. I just changed mine. I used the factory service manual and had no problems. You can get them pretty cheap on ebay.

Here is one:

It is for clutch replacement, so just stop when you get the diff out

I would be willing to help you out with this.

Been meaning to get back to you on the key FOB thing...
