Setting up a rear end is not easy if you are doing it yourself for the first time. You might get lucky but it might and probably will eat your lunch. It would really be worth paying a pro to change them for you. Just my advise.

Tip: Like Al stated this isn't a first timer friendly project. I have done alot of stuff on cars and didn't bother doing my rearend. I had a well known shop do my build. It seams simple enough but if it isn't done right you will get gear wine at the very least. If you don't have alot of miles on your car then I wouldn't worry about much, I used a Ford master kit and did new diff bearings, axle bearings, seals, etc. but then again my car had miles on it and I added a new diff, axles and welded the tubes. I would just get a good kit and either use your guy or find a shop, probally cost about 400 range.

Make sure your kit has a diff cover gasket, shim kit, crush sleeve, pinion bearing, and pinion seal. That should cover it.
