Looking for Gear Installation Instructions
I'm going to do a rear end gear swap and I'm looking for a write up online. Does anyone know where I can find one?

You need special tools and expertise (0-30 in/lb torque wrench, 6-7" micrometer). Setting up a ring and pinion is a critical job. If you cant swap pumpkins, take it to a shop and let them set it up. And ALWAYS replace the crush collar when you change the pinion.

I have the tools, and the experience to do It. I've swapped two sets of ring and pinions in mustangs, and those werent a problem, I would imagine that the RX-7 wouldnt be too much different, I just want some kind of guide to help me out.

The FSM has all the data you need to do the swap. It's similar to a ford 9 in that it uses a crush collar to set the pinion. Get a FSM, worth every penny. Look on ebay, they come up for sale from time to time.
