What all is involved in switching the rear hubs from a 3bolt to a 4bolt? I was told that you would need a special press to get them in and out, just verifying the validity of this statement. Thanks

You need the entire assembly to do the swap: PUmpkin, axles, axle cups, and bolts to connect the axle to the cup. 4 bolt axles are thicker in diameter. That is why they don't snap as much as 3 bolt axles. That's the other reason why you can't just buy 4 bolt axles and cups, you NEED the rear diff as well. If you are semi mechanically inclined, afford yourself about 3-4 hours for the swap. 2-3 if you have power tools.
