Of course you do not need to remove the rear on an early Ford with a closed driveshaft to replace a broken axle, BUT you never know what else that failure could have damaged internally unless you pull the rear and completely dismantle it, and check everything.
Also, if the rear is original and never been apart, it's likely the seals, gaskets, bearings, etc., may need replacing.
