I don't know what you have, but I would go to the junkyard and get another rear end, put in new seals, and swap the whole assembly. Yes, you can swap axles and the pumpkin, but you'll also need to swap the bearings, too.

I'm with FredT. Swap for another rearend.

It sounds like it got filled with water somehow. Did you drive through a creek or something?
