Default Gear Replacements

Im replacing my gears with some 4.10's, but i am looking for a write up, or something to explain the steps needed, possibly some pictures, and estimation for time, etc. Im having someone else do the work, and need something to quote the time by. So, if someone could point me in the right direction, that would be a great help.
Thanks
Nicholas

gear install is what year mustang??? you want a flat rate time what it should take??? typical time if using all the correct tools 2-3 hr's max........however today I was doing a install for someone and 7 hrs later we ended up putting the 3.73's back in due to a manufactoring defect with the ford racing 4.10's the guy got...........but standard time should be 2-3 hrs, what I ran into today is not the norm and was the first time I had ever encountered such an issue

Its a 92 mustang. The guy usually works on chevys, but his hourly rate is cheaper than just about anyone i can find, and he does really good work. But he had just never done a mustang, and was trying to find out if there was anything different from the normal gear change, which figured there wouldnt be, but im just getting used to the car, only had it a couple weeks, so im not totally familiar with everything yet. Thanks

as long as he has the ability to safely press off the pinion bearing to install correct pinion shim and he has the proper tools to set up the rear than you'll be fine
