1998 Ford Explorer Front end noise

I am looking for suggestions. I am hearing a high pitch noise while
under power comming from the fron diff, I think. The noise goes away
when coasting and returns under power. I have checked the differental
oil and replaced the front seal, it was leaking bad. The end bearing
looked good with no damage visible. Where should I start? What does it
take to remove the front differenital.

Try spraying WD40 were the axles go into the hub and check if the noise
goes away
The seals can be noisy sometimes.
If it goes away, replace the seals
