Difficutly to replace wheel seals and Diff Seal
I need to replace the wheel seals and the front seal on the differential of a 69 F100. Someone told me I need to remove the entire rear axle. What is the simplest way to do this? Thanks!

I suggest you get yourself a Chilton or Haynes shop manual which will walk you thru the procedures.
To replace axle seals, you have to remove the rear brake drums, brake backing plates and pull the axleshafts out.
To replace the pinion seal, the companion flange has to be removed first.
Even if you did pull the rear end, you would still have to go thru these same procedures.
