Drive axle has a leak

[rcalzadilla]

Drive axle (driver side) has a leak.
I'm thinking of replacing oil seal. Has anyone done this?
I have a service manual and feel confident for this job but, need to know:

How to pull Drive Axle since tripod joint is recessed into transmission housing and don't see how to use a pry bar or two to pop the joint out.

I know the axle is held in by a spring or clip which needs to release shaft.

Any help greatly appreciated since I can't pay a mechanic right now.
tks
