Default Removing Front Half Axle on a 2008 Dodge Ram

Hello Everyone:
I am replacing the half shaft front axle on a 2008 Dodge Ram 1500 with 4x4. I have taken off all the front end components but am having trouble getting the half shaft off on the passenger side of the vehicle. The half shaft on the driver's side was simply pried out with a pry bar. The passenger side is different in that it looks like it has a seal that is bolted on to the side of the differential. How do i remove the axle? Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Same as the driver's side just pry it off, but good luck. I couldn't get mine off the axle side so I not have a 4x4 truck that is 2x4
