Default Looking for help on switching rears

Hi everyone, I am handicapped (missing a leg and lung...lol) and I need someone to help with switching out my rear (chryco 8.25) that's in my garage with the one that's in my jeep now ( also 8.25 that's howling bad) I have a locker that needs to go in (lock rite) and the thrust washer from the rear that's in there now needs to be put in other rear along with the brakes and backing plates and axles.I already put in new axle bearings and seals but I'm pretty limited being in a wheelchair, I would appreciate any help from anyone. This is my DD. Any questions just PM or email me plz...Thx ...Joe.
PS I'm in jersey in zip 08721 near the shore.
PPS I have the knowledge but not the health...lol.

OK here is what we do. We all hook up TN and N.C. and drag them little to the east...lol.
I want to personally thank all of you who are helping or would like to help me with this. I used to be a mechanic and would still be if I didn't live the "Hard life" (too much partying and smokin too many cigg's) so now I am paying for it. John (Overland_XJ) is one of the best guys I know for helping as much as he does for me. Without him I don't know how I would get my heep fixed ... Thank you again John...Joe

Spyin on me eh..

Joe bought a second hand Lockright (new) that turned out to be a no-slip missing 8 springs. I swapped everything to a new housing and reinstalled the old axles spiders to get him on the beach this holiday.

Locker can be installed later once parts are sourced.
