You might find the axle hard to get out, so a "useful" sliderhammer is take the drum reverse it and up a few lugnuts on loosely and use that as your slide hammer.
You can also use the axle as a prybar to get the old seal out. Don't worry that's how most shops do it anyway, much quicker. Personally, replace both sides seals and bearings. Pull the thrid member and replace the gear oil. Remember it's all probably factory parts and that means old and used up. Prefect time to do it now and not have to deal with it again for another 25 yrs. If the brake shoes have any gearoil on them, you have to replace them. It doesn't come off. Just makes them slip. :.....For months (approx. 10,000 miles!) I've had a rotational noise coming from the driver's-side rearend of my '76 (250 4-door). I could never pin it down. Sounded like standing under an overpass with cars running over the expansion strips above you. (Almost a flapping noise). Anyway, no heat was detected anywhere along the axle or pumpkin indicating friction.
