a diff is a diff. They all work under the same principles, and use six gears. A pinion, ring, 2 side gears, and two spiders. The front is not any different than the rear. While it looks different, it is really very much the same. If you do not have any concerns with tearing apart thr rear, you should not have any concerns with the front.
