Default How to install/replace rear diff ??

I did a search with no luck - Can someone direct me to a "how to" for changing out the rear differential? Can I do this in my garage? I want to go to 3.90s or 4.10s in my 6 speed C5.

Did it today in my garage using this guide: http://fear.net/~dope/c5_clutch_install_nopics.html

Installed 4.10's and an LS7 clutch.

Not really that hard, took 7 hrs.
