5.0 Rear Swap Help!!
Hi, Im New Here! But I Have A 1991 Mustang GT with a good amount of work done to it, and i have never gotton around to changing the rear, well i bought a full rear axle and everything and the guy i talked to said it is an easy swap... well easy for him to say because he has been working on them for 15 years.. i have all the suspension out and brake lines out but i am having trouble getting the drive shaft out? i am replacing it anyway but i cant get those bolts off because they are threadlocked any ideas?? i was thinking if i just un bolt the rest of the rear and slide it out from the tranny it should come out?? any easier way?? please Help!!! thanks

u mean like just disconnect everything holding the rear end in , and then slide the d/s out of the trans still attached to the rear end??? if so then yes.. u can do that, but unless u plan on going with an aluminum d/s or just a newer one, u'll still have to get the d/s disconnected from the old rear end..

Yeah i got everything out i tried heating the bolts and that didnt work either so i just disconnected the rear and slided out the d/s and yes i am going to a new ford racing drive shaft but at least now i will have room to work with to get the bolts off.. thanks for the help!!
