Axle seals
It would be recommended to replace the rear axle bearings and axles when they are worn/bad. If the bearings and axles are okay, just replace the seals.
To replace the rear axle seals, lift and support the rear of vehicle, remove the tires, remove the drums, remove the nuts holding the bearing/seal retainer in place, install the drums backwards (that's right, backwards) and secure drums to axle flange with two or three lug nuts, using a large hammer, tap on the drum as to force axle/bearing assembly out from the axle tube, take the axle assemblies to a machine shop to have the old bearings and seals replaced then reinstall the assemblies back into the vehicle. Unfortunately the original bearings have to be destroyed in order to replace the seals.

New seals work best.

take the axle out

very carefully
simple, go to your nearest ford dealer, they usually have a service area, that way you know its done right, and with a warranty also
Please clarify your question as in front or rear axle.
Inner or outer front? I do a lot of repairs myself, engine rebuild, transmission swaps, there are 3 things on a 4x4 I will not open up and fix.. front axle, transfer case, rear axle. I hate the smell of burnt gl5. I hate putting it back together and having a seal tear while pushing the shaft thru it.. unless you are talking about the rear pumpkin seal.. 10-15 bolts new gasket and a little permatex.. So for my answer How would I replace the rear axle seals I would take it to a shop and pay them unless I could find the exact axle at a junk yard for the cost of half of shops fee.
