Good morning,
Are you replacing the internals of the differential or the entire housing?

Okay, you are going to need a full set of tools.
You will need a set of 1/2 drive sockets both deep and shallow.
You will need 3 and 6 inch extensions as well.
A 1/2 air gun that can loosen bolts as tight as 200 pounds.
3/8 sockets. Deep and shallow. Long handled ratchet with extensions.
Wrenches. Combination wrenches from 5/16 to 1 inch.
Line wrenches for the brake lines.
Screwdrivers, pliers and vice grips.
A floor jack, jack stands and something to support the differential when dropping and installing.
There is a lot to this project.
Check out the images (below). Let us know if you need anything else.
