What's involved in swapping the front differential on a SLA Ranger/Explorer?
I'm going to be swapping a 3.75 Explorer axle into my truck before/when/shortly after I do the engine swap and will need to regear the front differential to match. I have the differential from the donor, so the easy chioice is to just swap out the differential assuming that it is also 3.73 (door tag is gone and haven't crawled under it yet). I'm going to have the front axle shafts pulled to swap from PVH style to live axle, but I'm not sure how much more is required to pull the differential out.
