Here's the bext piece of advise anyone will ever give you about rebuilding your 10 bolt rear axle - don't do it.
Not worth the time or money.

I think the cheapest place that I have found is Drivetrain Direct. Everything is fairly easy like seals and bearings but if you are planning on doing a gear swap I would say to shop around for a professional. I thought about it and tried to set the gears in my 14FF but lost patients soon and took it to ITP.

dtrivetrain direct is cheapest
randys ring and pinion are the best
its not too hard too don gears if you have the right tools
you need;dial indicator on a magnetic stand
pinion depth tool
micrometer
patience
if you have these tools let me now if you dont plan on doing any other rear ends then take it somewhere but if you are its well worth the investment in tools /forums/images/graemlins/usaflag.gif
