Default Axle removal

Hi I have a 2000 Silverado 4WD I am replacing all the brake lines Pads etc.

Found out that passenger side rear axle seal was leaking so bought new ones and want to replace those.
From what I found on the web is that there should be an 8 mm bolt in the differential that has to come out.
I have the cover off and rotated the axel a 100 times but I don't see that bolt. Is my rear end different or am I blind?
Is there anybody with a drawing or picture of this?

Any help appreciated.

Ben

Thanks

I have the axell out.
I was spinning the wheel side not the drive shaft.
After seeing the youtube clip I took the drive shaft off and it was a piece of cake after that.

Again thanks for the tip.
