Need help removing diff (archive)

Ok, I have the axles off, I have all the diff bolts loosened, I have the nuts removed from the drive shaft. The bolts are still attached to the driveshaft (and sticking through the holes in the diff input flange, hense the problem). I'm not sure if the bolts are suppose to be removed, or if the driveshaft is suppose to slide back, but neither is happening. I don't want to hurt anything here.

My input seal is leaking, which is why I have to pull the diff off the car. I am SO close to having the diff out, but I can't figure out how to disconnect the driveshaft from the diff.

Thank you for your time.

-Guy
