It depends. If you want to swap in a VLSD, pumpkin and all, then no, the entire differential case comes out. If you plan on installing an aftermarket differential, like the Kaaz or Nismo or Cusco units, then you'll have to drain and drop the whole case, open the pumpkin, pull the existing differential out, pull of the final gear, and then reassemble with the new differential.
