It is absolutely NOT that easy. Installing a ring and pinion set is a very precise and specialized job. It isn't as simple as un-bolt and re-install into another housing. It will howl something fierce and fail very quickly.
Besides, you have to pull the axles to install gears, so you are not saving a thing.
