How to: Rebuild a GM 8.5in 10 bolt rear differential - Start to finish rear end rebuild in 7 min!

YouTube needed a good GM 10 bolt rebuild video that wasn't 30 or 40 min long.. or 2 hours like some videos on here. So here ya go! I run through the process quickly with lots of detail. The hardest part of the process was not knowing fully what I was getting into. This video would have saved me time and money wasted on other videos not hitting all the key points and not knowing all the parts I would need leading to trips back and forth to the parts store. All the parts I needed are listed below. Make sure you check the RPO code inside the glove box to know what gear ratio to order. Mine is a 3.73.
