Front axle leaking

My front Dana 44 is leaking out the axle tube. My question is the only
way to fix it is to remove the carrier (differential case) ?
Thanks

make sure you have the correct axle in there first, some 44 front axles are larger...ie the 78/79 hd 44 in the f150 4wd supercabs are larger than the f150/bronco 4wd
