Unless you are going to replace the gears you can probably do all the rebuild yourself. I presume you are mostly talking about new bearings, seals, u-joints, ball joints etc. You can do google searches on how to rebuild Dana front differentials and find tons of info. The basics are the same with some differences for model or year.
Generally speaking you pull the brakes apart, pull the axles, pull the carrier out, pull the steering knuckles apart, pull the axle seals out, then start replacing the worn stuff and reinstalling in reverse order. Most critical part is to make sure that the carrier and associated parts go back in just like they came out, no mixing up parts from side to side.
