Generally speaking, seals, bearings, and races are pretty much the extent of most differential rebuilds. Looks like around $250 in parts from the supplier you linked, though it doesn't look like they sell the seals. There certainly could be damage beyond that, you never know. Just saying that it sounds like his diff may just have had a bearing failure if anything. My point is, it's worth cracking it open to see if he's even somewhat considering a rebuild.
