Default 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

maybe try heating the bolts up with a torch or something... try a breaker bar yet???? those can be a pita most of the time even if u don't use threadlock..

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..
