Question Differential Gear Changes

Hi Bob:
One of the things I am considering is the change of the rear differnetial gears in my ERA. The rear end is from a Jag XKE Series 2. Vintage is some time between 1964 and 1973 but that is all that is known.

Here is the first question:

Is the changing of the differential gears and posi unit a bench job or is it a job that can be done to the rear end in place? ie: is it a "quick change" or is it a detailed and delicate operation?

Second:

You list Michigan Driveline and SICP as possible sources for new gears. However, Michigan's and SICP phone numbers as listed in the Assembly Manual are defunct. Got new numbers on them?

Third:

Other than the gears, what else would need to be changed, ordered, etc. I assume the Toploader's speedo gear?

4th:

Do you guys have access to all the parts I would need? And can you do the gear change if it is not a quick change operation?

Much thanks,
