The Dope(tm) differential install guide
All text with links to the pics: http://fear.net/~dope/c5_rear_install_nopics.html
Same but with the pics embedded in the document for printing: http://fear.net/~dope/c5_rear_install_pics.html
http://fear.net/~dope/c5_rear_install.doc if you prefer Word
Let me know if I screwed up anywhere. It's been a little while since I've done this, may have left out a step or two. This is mainly a modified version of my clutch install, just had to delete A LOT and add a few things.

Nice job!
Clearly written and has that "anybody can do this" attitude that good DIY instructions need.
And you're a Massachusetts guy to boot. Can't determine your location in the Great Commonwealth from the pictures. Doesn't look bumpy enough to be Western Mass, which is where I'm from originally...

Great article. I like the part about not using the air tools getting a few of those bolts out a.k.a Ask Me How I know. Got a chuckle out of that. Going through what you did, would you do it again or is it worth the $350 or so to have a shop do it?
Again, nice job.
Again, nice job.
