As in replace all the internals?  You would need some dial indicators to set it up in the end for the gears.

 Should have a sticker in the glove box with options on it. If not you can count the teeth on the gears/there should be a stamp on the outter edge of the ring gear with the number of teeth divide them and you'll have the ratio.
 If there nothing wrong with the rear end  just replace the bearings and seals/gaskets.
