Default cv axle replacement- help!

i am replacing my right front cv axle. i have searched countless CL threads, youtube videos, everything under the sun but can’t find anything in detail. i have everything off and i’m down to pulling it out. but i can’t seem to get it out. is there something i’m missing? i havent unscrewed/bolted anything that’s not on the wheel hub. is there something else to be unscrewed on the transmission side? do i need to be turning it a certain way while pulling or anything like that? any help would be greatly appreciated! again its just the cv axle, not a full axle replacement

C-clip off? And removed the bolt under the carrier bearing bracket? The carrier bearing is know to seize in the bracket if car is driven in snow belt states, or near the beach. If seized, some have unbolted the bracket from the engine block. Other's use a torch to cut the axle on the inside and hammer it out. There is no c-clip on the inside of the CV shaft as on the driver side. There is an external C-clip at the carrier bearing bracket. I think I used a large screwdriver, or maybe some pliers, to remove the clip.
