only about 4-5 bolts, and the rear d/shaft and prop bolts to remove paul but its very heavy,so make sure you have a jack underneath to take the weight

Isn't there a quick fix ref the step off gears Paul, something along the lines of shortening the hy-vo chain, or summat like that

Search for the post by Yum re his new diff, it sort of turned into a bitch fight but there was some good info there

you will need a pair of step off gears and a shorter chain to match the 3.9 rear.
