Default Front axle seals

Anyone know if the front axles on our trucks are the c clip type like the rears are? I ask because both front axle seals are leaking and need to be replaced. Wondering if I can just pull them out or do I need to pull the diff cover and remove c clips first.

The CV Axles bolt on to stubs coming out of the carrier. What's leaking?

I've got moisture all the way around where the cv axle bolts to the "stub coming out of the carrier" on both sides of the truck. I guess I should have worded my original post a little differently.

Take the cv axl off the stub, clean the surface there is a smal plate that holds grease there, over time it show aome signs grease just repack it and clean it and reinstall
