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

I've already pulled the old (very very toasted) diff from my car and I've dissasembled the 4 bolt to the point that all I have to is unbolt it from the input driveshaft, slide it back and down. I actually took the easy way out of getting the top 2 bolts undone by using an air chisel to the interior floor panels behind the rear seats since I won't be reusing them. After all is buttoned up and ready, I plan on welding a patch in and grinding the welds flat and covering them up with carpet.
Thank you natedogg for your answer. This QUOTE The axles and driveshaft bolt on/off easily. The hubs are held on by a 27mm nut in the middle of the hub . was exactly what I was looking for. I should be able to complete the swap this afternoon if not early tomorrow (mom will have to wait lol) and I'll get back to you guys when it's complete. Thanks
