Yeah pretty much if you're asking the question on how to install it, you shouldn't be installing it.

Hey that's my answer..

Ok once again let's give a quick review of what can go wrong if you don't know what your doing.
Not install correctly -Whine, break, cause vibrations, destroy the entire rearend ( very seldom but I've seen it), break other parts (ie abs rings).
Plus gear lube is the most disgusting smelling stuff on the planet to me. It gets everywhere and in everything cleaning it up is a nigthmare. Plus remember you'll also need to get the fluid back into the rearend. You can try those pumps for the bottle (never seem to work for me), you can dump the bottle in the fill hole ( yeah you'll be wearing some) , or my favorite use an old fire extinguer and fill it with the lube and spray it in.
Then there is the tools need to do it.
Also in all honesty the first time you get into one your looking at everything going WTF.

But if you insist on trying it yourself.
As you remove label parts. try and place them on the side they would go back into. try and have the cleanest work area you can. While the rearend is usually a dirty mass of metal you don't want dirt inside your rearend.
I'd suggest checking the axle seals, and the carrier bearings while it's apart.
If alot of dragracing and or sticky tires are in the near future. I suggest do it right 31 splines and diff then hopefully you won't have to get back in there again.
