Technically-Yes. BUT, there are a couple of things that must be done.
1. You will need to have the outer CV joint/Spline still mounted through the front hubs and tightened. This will require you to disassemble each halfshaft and and use the outer ends or else you will destroy the hubs. OR you can buy 2 halfshafts from a salvage yard and use the ends. That way you can reinstall your originals when you get the front diff replaced.
2. Front driveshaft must be removed.
3. I believe you must have a selectable 4WD and keep it in 2WD at all times. I believe it may still work if it is an AWD, MAYBE- but it will drive your ECM nuts.
4. It is to your advantage to simply replace the defective front Diff with a New, Rebuilt or good used unit.

How do you remove the oil pan from a 1999 Chevy Tracker?
Complexity depends on whether it is 4wd or 2wd. I just replaced oil pan on my daughter's 4wd. In order to do so I had to take out the front drive axle and remove the front differential. I also had to disconnect the power steering pump in order to gain enough clearance. If you are a good do it yourselfer, it's just a time consuming project. Otherwise, you may want to take it to a Chevy dealer and let them do it. 2wd should be easy as there is no differential or drive axle to deal with. Hope this helps.
