1996 Dodge Caravan Axel

Yes, the ball joint is out and lower control arm is detached. I removed the 6 bolts where it looks like it goes into part of the transmission. From what I can see everything is removed including the rotor etc. I grab on the end of it and tried pulling to get it to pop out but it dont. The 6 bolts are at the end where, the seal would be inside, if I can get it to pop, then the seal would be right there, and I could replace and put back together. The axel is for the most part just hanging there except where I took the 6 bolts out, looks like maybe I should try to pry it out. Dont want to keep yanking afriad that I'll damage the cv boot.

Okay, I got the axle out and had to remove the 6 bolts so I could get the housing off, to take out seal. I did that and replaced with new seal, put the 6 bolts back and tried to put the axle back, then bam a bigger problem. Now the spline has fell out of place, and cant put it back to where it was, The only thing It seems I can do is remove a cover there thats part of the tranny. I think by removing this cover I could get the spline back in place but not sure, am I screwed, or can it be done, if so perhaps you can tell me what needs to be done thanks.
