whats involved in taking a rear end out of an 89 T/A? I dont know too much about cars so im just wondering what to expect cause the car isnt at my house right now.

Its a parts car so i can use the torch to take it out if i have to

thanks for your time

shouldn't be too hard...just give urself a bunch of time...and if its a parts car you don't have to worry about the hard part: putting it back together the same way it came out w/out extra nuts & bolts...

make sure you start with the brake lines and cables you don't want to messin with that stuff right when its coming out
I leave the tires on so u can just roll it out
