I think you have to remove a snap ring at the end of the axle shaft that you can reach by twisting the assembly and then remove the axle shaft. Rotate the cage with the balls so one ball is facing out and pry it loose. Work your way around and pry enough balls loose and the cage and remaining balls will come out. Replace the seal at the inside of the wheel bearing, reassemble and your done. I don't think you can get the front differential out without engine removal. Getting to the front nuts inside the frame that hold it in can be done.
Your's doesn't roll due to the siezed viscous clutch. I'll trade you my working clutch for your siezed one.
