I replaced the brakes but have differential fluid leaking. Do I have to remove the wheel, rotor, caliper etc and can I get to the bearing and seal that way or do I have to go through the differential? Thanks,

Yes. The brakes have to be removed to slide the axle out. Make sure the instructional videos you're watching are for a GM 10-bolt differential. Also look at pictures of normal and excessive bearing wear patterns on the axle. If your axle shows too much wear, your new seal won't last.
