I would wait until you get the rear end to make sure you will need the flange

The rear calipers and rotors are the same size, unless the rear end has aftermarket rotors and calipers. Only the front is different from GT and V6

Oh ok JimC
That's a good thing. So If I were to use the brakes that come with the axle,
I would have to connect them to my brake system; therefore opening up the lines and possibly letting air into the system, that's why I thought I would need to bleed the brakes. Unless there is some magical way to do that lol
(I am not a mechanic btw)
I guess its at the caliper, where you connect the brake lines. follow the link and scroll down to see the larger pics:

That's the axle I want to get, Only one left!
The only part I am not confident with swapping is the brake line part.

All you need to do is take your caliper off the rotor bracket - don't disconnect the brake lines and tie it up out of the way. Put that new rear end in and reinstall your caliper (you may need the tool to screw the pads back away from the rotor to install the caliper). That picture shows the stock caliper and rotor so no need to disconnect your existing caliper from the brake system.

Double check the flange when it arrives. That may be the correct flange. It's been too long for me to remember what it looks like, but a 2011+ will often have the correct cobra type flange already (not sure why some of them don't)

Well thanx guys, I appreciate this. Sounds so easy to do!
IDK how much the shipping is so I requested a quote. If its not astronomical I may just get this rear end. And then I wont have to go to a Ring and Pinion shop!
How heavy are those rear ends? 100 lbs? 200 lbs?

Around 175lbs. I replace my rear end by myself with a rolling floor jack, so it's doable, but get an extra hand if one's available.

That's HEAVY lol
ok shipping was $140 to a business $40 more to a residence. Not bad. I was talking to the seller and he said that 4.10's didn't come out of the factory as stated on the site. Site says its an option from the factory. And they don't ship with fluid. And he offered a clutch pak rebuild for $180. And new seals. So if I get: Axle assembly $800 + Clutch rebuild $180 + new seal install $100(?) + shipping $140 = $1220
Is that worth it?
