Rearend help
Friday I am removing a rearend froma 95 Z28 convert.to replace my 99, 3.8 5 speed. Any guess or info on ring gear size of the 95 as to the size of my 99. Also any tricks on removal, seeing its a junkyard rearend, I would like to have everything available before I end up stuck..They wont allow any torches, so I think a sawzall and my tools should be ok.. Any helpful tools that may be needed that any of you guys have found make this job easier. Thanks.

RE: Rearend help
No it's just many of us don't bother with weak stock 10 bolt rear ends. Plus you only waited about an hour and half for a responce. That z/28 had either a 2.76 or optional 3.23 gear if it is an auto, 6 speed cars all had 3.42's. There might be a tag on the diff, or you can write down the RPO codes,m which should be on the glove box door or a sticker in the door jamb.You hand tools and saws-all should be all you need.

RE: Rearend help
The ABS won't work after you swap rears. The new one works on a 4 channel system and the old one works on a 3 channel system. Also, before complaining that no one is helping you, consider what you are asking. Get a repair manual first and read it, and then ask questions if you don't understand something.
