Just change the axles and drums instead of changing out the complete rearend. Its a lot faster that way and a lot less work
Remove 4 lug drums
Take cover off
Remove Axle Pin Bolt (8mm or 5/16)
Push Axle inwards
Pull Out Axle C-Clips
Remove Axles
Replace with 5 lug Axles
Install C-Clips
Install Pin and Bolt
Bolt On Cover and Add Fluid
Put 5 lug Drum On
DONE!
