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

Here's the vfaq.
http://www.vfaq.com/mods/4bolt.html

Its a pretty easy swap. 6 bolts connect the rear diff to the car. 2 from the sides, 2 at the rear, 2 on top. The top ones are the toughest to get at. Try to jack up the car so the rear suspension is completely unloaded This allows the diff to drop down a little esp. when the other 4 mounting bolts are out. The axles and driveshaft bolt on/off easily. The hubs are held on by a 27mm nut in the middle of the hub. You'll see it when you remove the axle. After the nut is removed, a few taps on the hub and it should come right out.
