Axle Seals

Ok, I know I said I wouldn't have time to do them myself, but I REALLY don't want to let anybody work on the truck that I don't know, especially if I'm not there. Besides, I cant afford the Oooodlez of money the shop would want. You guys figgur 2 guys (me being one of them, so make that 1 1/2 guys lol) could do both axles in one day? I'd like to maybe squeeze it in on sunday if i could. Also, do you guys figgure I may have done some damage? I didn't really notice any kind of strange noise, except a bit of a vibration at high speed that I thought was just the tires, because when I push the clutch in and take it out of gear the noise doesn't change at all. I'm scared to find out how much oil is left inside the rear. Weird, why would both axles start leaking at the same time? I drove back at quite a bit of a higher speed and hit some bumps kinda hard,could that do it? Both axles are leaking on the same side strange as it seems. I'm kind of bummed out about this and would like to get it out of the way. Maybe do the axle bearings at the same time to make me feel better.

Btw Bill, don't say it

Edit: The seals on the insides of the differentials are called axle seals too, aren't they? Those are the ones I'm talking about.
