Level of difficulty: 3/10
Time commitment: 2.5 hours max with setup/cleanup, double-checking torque, referring to directions and making several phone calls to Fargo59
Parts needed: Upgraded clutch packs and Belleville springs from Fargo59 (he got the part numbers through a series of e-mails between OEM manufacturers and SRT Engineers). Per SRT engineer Adam Forte they had initially planned on using clutches like these but found that although they would be more suitable for drag racing they were less suitable for road racing. These are available through Fargo59 for $350 plus shipping
For those who aren't aware the clutches in the Getrag tend to go bad with alot of burnouts and drag strip use. Mine lasted about a year before I started getting frequent peg-legged burnouts. My diff oil was black when I drained it after about 3K
Tools needed: 10mm, 13mm and 17mm sockets, 3/8" ratchet, air ratchet gun (powerful one), flat-tipped screw driver, hammer, decent size blunt-tipped punch, dental pick, something to use to scrape gasket material.
First off you'll need to drain your Getrag. There are two allen-headed oil plugs (one on the side and one on the bottom). My clutches were pretty fried so my fluid was black and the magnetic plug on the bottom was loaded up with metallic debris.
You can then remove your Getrag from your car (see Hemi31's half-shaft replacement "how to" thread for details)
With your Getrag on a bench you will notice (12) 10mm bolts and (1) 13mm bolt holding the cover on

After removing all these bolts you will pry off the cover. I used a crescent wrench between the bottom half of the housing and the upper half. There is a lip on the upper half that makes this easy to do. Once the two halves start to come apart walk a flat-tip screw driver around the edge to separate the two halves.
There is a metal peg on the upper half which is press fit into the lower half. It will require a little prying to get it apart. Be gentle with your prying because the housing is aluminum.

Once you remove the cover this is what you will see. The carrier sits inside the housing with nothing holding it down. You basically reach in and pull it up and out. Note the (10) 17mm bolts holding the carrier to the ring gear.
