Answer
The axleshaft should slide right out if it is a non C-clip axle. If it is a c-clip style, you have to remove the differential cover to remove the c-clip. When the diff cover is removed, hit the end of the axle shaft inwards towards the diff. and the c-clip should pop out, allowing the shaft to be removed.

If it is non c clip, there should be bolts on the end of the axle housing holding the axle in place. Removing those bolts will allow the axle to slide out.
