Best way to remove the axle is yo place a prybar between the transmission and axle housing and give it a quick jolt. The axle is held in the transmission slines by a retainer ring so all you have to do is pop it out. But be careful not to tear the cv boot and do not pull on the shaft or you will seperate the cv joint. Good luck.. Hope this helps.

They pull right out when you get the knuckle off. Hardest part is getting there. Be sure to test the ball joints before you remove the tires. You may need some replaced.

That job is a ton of labor, considering it's such a small part.
You need to remove both axles (with brakes, rotors and bearing hubs as well) and then remove the diff cover. After that, you remove the carrier (complete with gears) THEN, you can simply pry out and replace the seal.
If you need help with any part of the job, just ask and I'll give you further info. Axle end nut torque is something like 150lbs, not sure what the carrier end cap torque is.

I figured it out , there is a small snap-ring on the inside of the short shaft.
Good job
