One side has a bent axle and it is leaking gear oil somewhere (I have not been able to find where). So my question is, "Is is difficult to pull out the axles and replace them and maybe change my gears? What special tools if any do I need to do this?

As long as you are not replaceing carrier bearings or gears you will have no problem resealing the rear end.
I didn't do it, no one saw me do it, you can't prove anything! "Bart Simpson"
