And no on the assembly, the carrier has to be removed to replace the ring, the pinion has to go in while the carrier is out, and each time a shim adjustment has to be made the carrier has to come back out.
Today I assisted in taking an entire rear end out of an explorer. A ranger would be easier since it is under the springs instead of over.
I would suggest buying a good used rear end and putting it in instead of messing with gears. If it is grinding... the bearings, spider gears, other things are probably worn also. You can usually get a good ranger rear end for around 200 bucks. You will have that in a gear set and bearings plus many more variables installing it. Variables translate to extreme headaches plus if you get it wrong it will only take a couple months to wear it out again.
