You have actually disassembled the half shaft and you didn't have to do that. You removed the bearing from the housing which is what you would do if you are rebuilding it but that is not that common anymore.
I am attaching the process from the manual on how to replace this. You should at this point be able to use a pry bar and pop the axle out of the trans. Take a look number 7 for more detail. However, if you have not removed the support bolts then that will be an issue. What you most likely need is a swivel socket and an extension so that you can get on the bolt.
If you can't figure out how to get to it, can you get a picture the bolt and we will see if we can come up with some other ideas on how to get to it? Thanks
