Need experienced helper to assist in rear diff rebuild

The rear in my truck is on very borrowed time right now. The pinion gear has been making noise for quite a while and it's getting worse. I'm going to pick up a full rebuild kit with the bearings for the pinion, carrier, and axles, as well as the crush sleeve and seals. I need someone with experience setting up rears to give me a hand. I know how to do most of the disassembly and reassembly but adjusting the backlash and getting the correct shims in there isn't something I've got enough experience with. Also I don't have access to a press for the pinion bearing races and I'm sure they need to be replaced with all the noise that's going on back there.
If anyone has access to a press and experience setting the backlash correctly please let me know if you can help out. I'll offer up food and drink and even some cash is necessary. Would like to knock the project out in a day as the truck is my daily driver.
