It's not hard to do, but requires special tools and a great deal of knowledge (and/or experience). You'll need an install kit to properly 'set up' the gears. Many variations of kits exist, the biggest difference is whether or not the come with new bearings. Let the condition of your bearings or mileage be the deciding factor on replacing bearings. Some will tell you to just replace the bearings anyway - I suppose there is some merit to that. The gear set you'll need is from any 10 bolt 7.5 inch rear. GM put out millions of them. Do a search for GM 10 bolt 7.5 or 7.625 and you'll see the car that had them. Also, there are two different series carriers one for 3.23:1 gars and numeriaclly lower, and another series for 3.42:1 and up.

How do you get the C Clip off the rear Axle to remove the carrier bearing on a 1998 C1500 Chevy 4x4?
If you look at the carrier you will see a big pin that goe's through the spider gears and carrier. Turn the carrier around until you see a small bolt on the right side of it. Remove the bolt that is what holds the pin in the carrier. Then pull the pin out towards you. Then push the axel's in and the c-clips will fall out. Then put pin back in so the spider gears don't fall out.

Buy a salvage rear end. Doing just the gears requires fitting them to the proper clearance. Not something a novice can do. But bolting another rear end in place is far easier. You can't convert it to 2 wheel drive. Because what you say needs replacing is the rear not the front.
