The discs are easy; it is the calipers...

No Thanks Paul...like I said I do not have the manual for the 3500S (I am 
not familiar with the 2000 procedure although it may be identical) handy but 
I do know how to perform the procedure according to the book...and it 
certainly is not as difficult of a job as you appear to have been 
experiencing..Useing the proper tools the rear discs can be removed the way 
the manual states...Am I the only one here that does not remove the diff to 
get the discs out ???
