Default C5 differential rebuild procedure

Just thought I would share the GM procedure for complete overhaul of the C5 differential (torque settings, gears, bearings, clutches, dissassembly, assembly etc.). When viewing, it makes it easier if you rotate the pdf clockwise 90deg.

For the search function: diff differential gears rebuild repair overhaul setup

Anybody have any idea of the approximate cost from a private shop if you didn't want to rebuild your differential youself? I'm in N.California I have a C5 six speed
