    if you got the whole rear end, axle and all, there shouldn't be anything else you need for it, unless you didn't get new e-brake cables. they might need to be changed, mine did. other than that, all you'll need is a good socket set that goes up to 22mm, a heavy duty jack and stands, and if you have access to an impact wrench, it would be a big help.
    you can\'t get off if you don\'t get on

          What do you mean? Did you not by a non-TCS rear? If you bought a rear end from a TCS car, you have some issues to deal with. There is another post on here recently with the same issues. If you did buy a non-TCS rear, I believe the stock wires should work with the new rear. I could be wrong though. There may be an issue with differences in the ABS reluctor(sp?) wheel on the ring gear, I have seen that brought up as a possible problem spot before.

            The car i bought my rear end off of did not have TCS but it had ABS. I know that I can still connect the ABS wire to the connection, BUT the number of pins differ. Do you think there would be any conflicts?

                  Ultralites are nearly 25% lighter than the stock 1.6 rockers and 8% lighter than the SLP aluminum...
