what is involved in swapping the rear axles...is it a simple remove/install affair?

what's involved that I might need to know before I do this... [Confused]

nice...yeah, I already have the axles and I'm just doing a simple conversion. [Cool]

My main concern is with the C clip...does it have to be removed to swap axles...?

it's alittle complicated if u never seen inside there before. there's i 8mill or 5 1/16 bolt u gotta remove, so u can slide the big pin out, so u can push the axles in, an remove the c clip's the rest is backwards.just remember to use locktight when puttin last lil bolt in!!!!!! u should get a mustang manuel an do some readin on this procedure.then it's easy as cake!!!!
