This is my first time rebiulding a rear end, I just oredered bearings and seals for the differentials. What other seals and bearings do i need? Im sorry if this is a dumb question, but i knew you guys could answer it for me.

You will need pinion bearings and a pinion seal. Usually easiest to get a master install kit.

wha kind of seals and stuff do i need for the axles?

Depends on which model axle you're working on. The rear axle seals rarely go bad except for the pinion seal. The front axle seals require replacing more often, especially when wheeled in wet and muddy conditions.

ford 9", get a master install kit, new pinion seal and axle seals. The master install kit will come with all new bearings, shims, paint and diff cover gasket. trash the cork gasket and go with a lube-locker gasket.

while you have it appart, might as well replace. to knock the axle seals out, after pulling the carrier and shafts, I use a long piece of threaded rod through the seal and into the center section, put on some fender washers and a nut then pull through the tube till it contacts the seal, then I just strat tugging (similar to a slide hammer) they should pop right out. to put them back in, just head to home depot and grab some 2" (I thnk, you will want to measure the metal seal face) and cut it into a short piece, perhaps 8" long and use this with a mallet or dead blow and tap the new seals in.
