You need to replace the entire rear housing from drum to drum.You need the same gear ratio as the front axle so the four wheel drive will work. You also may need to have either the pinion flange or the drive shaft altered for the driveshaft to mate to the different rear axle. I attached the procedure for replacing the differential assembly below for you.
