No really, the manual's step-by-step jumps straight from separating the knuckle to just "Remove right drive shaft from transaxle." (it calls the CV axles "drive shafts"). No mention that the right drive shaft has some more bolts holding it in place!
And I've watched a half-dozen YT videos of people showing how to replace the CV axles on this car. Everyone just shows the left side which doesn't have this step!
(Big thanks to this video of a '97 which is similar enough https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zKSp2Ey_FTw )
