Actually, if it is the rear axle seal, you don't need to remove the differential. You will need to drop the carrier and remove the axle hub then change the oil seal. You would also be better off changing the O ring on that peice as well. I will try to post an exploded diagram of what I am talking about ASAP.
If it is in the front where the drive shaft connects to the diff carrier, then you will need to remove the differential.

The NA Supra calipers look similar to yours on the GS. The TT calipers are much larger.

The differential you want is one from a AUTOMATIC TT Supra. Keep in mind that NOT all automatic TT supras had LSD installed. Most do, but some did not.
