You make it sound too easy. Don't forget that you also have to remove the parking brake cable, and undo the brake lines, and then bleed the brakes afterwards.

Close... but the 3rd member actually has two pinion bearings and two carrier bearings.

True, but my 9 year old cousin could do that. All in all it's an easy job. Mine has abs and the abs ring is more expensive than the bearings so I just took it to the machine shop to avoid breaking it. I couldn't imagine paying someone to take the axle assemblies out for me. That's rediculous.

and that is why i love my rear disc brake conversion... 4 bolts a side, just moved the caliper to the side and didnt have to bleed them or remove my non existent parking brake cable!

and yeah, my little 10 year old cousin could do this job drunk....
