What do I need to know about rear ends?

Both of my M715s are making noises that make me uncomfortable. My 68 with stock axles makes LOUD noise under deceleration, I understand this may be caused by pinion bearing preload problems. My 67 with CUCV axles is making noises I think are from the carrier bearings. I have not built or adjusted anything inside an axle before. Are these repairs somthing a reasonably intelegent detail minded person (OK maybe I'm giving myself too much credit) could do correctly? I know it may mean buying some new tools, but thats a good thing, or should I leave this work to someone with experience?
