Undo the axle nut, jack up and place body on stands, remove wheel and undo tie rod, undo both lower strut bolts and then you should be able to swing stub to one side and in doing so slid shaft out, you may have to give it a tap with a soft hammer to get it moving, place container under trans and with a suitable lever pop out inner end, then lift shaft clear.
