If you have a base car you won't have to deal with tranny/diff coolant lines, but this is basically everything you need to know.

Been there.
I changed my torque tube last year. I was not bad. I changed the drive axles and all my shocks at the same time. Dropping the entire back suspension sounded bad, but wasn't too bad. I did mine in my garage with the car on blocks about 2 ft off the concrete. Backed it all out sitting on a floor jack. Get help lowering and moving. The jack carries the weight on the xmsn pan but someone needs to guide the engine side so as to not tear **** up. BTW, when I bought my new shaft they sent 2. I have a new torque tube 8905-9715 for sale. For the same reason I have extra drive axles, both for the base and the Z51 (which I have).
