I've got a bit of a dilemma. My once trusty 1996 Landcruiser GXL is now getting a bit long in the tooth and is in need of a few repairs. In the past I haven't thought twice about this and have just fixed what needed to be fixed, no matter the cost. That said, not much has gone wrong with her.

Now my rear axle seals seem to have gone and have drowned my rear brakes with gear oil. Also my handbrake is cactus and would need a new drum etc. Rather than just replace the rear seals I was thinking of buying a whole rear axle/diff and removing and replacing. Does anyone have any thoughts on this? Is it a big job? Also, I have my eye on a replacement rear axle/diff that is LSD. I'm not sure if my original one is. Will this matter?

Any help or advice much appreciated!! Thanks in advance!
