You can leave the tie rod end and strut connected to the knuckle, just swing and prop the knuckle out of the way.
The driveshaft can be popped out of the transaxle by a sharp jerk of a prybar against the case and inner CV machined ridge (there is an internal spring clip to get past the side gear). Avoid pulling on the shaft or sharply articulating the CV joints just in case the joint might separate and come apart inside the rubber boot.
A prybar can remove the old seal and the new one can carefully be hammered straight in with an arbor.
Haynes isn't the best manual for the finer details. They are vague and general and sometimes misleading with what you are working on. A factory service manual is best. Most Chrysler FWD (K cars, E cars and minivans) in this era shared many of the same driveline attributes.
The main, local library may have older automobile manual material in the backroom or they might be able to locate a library that has the information that you seek. A Mitchell, Motor or Chilton manual may even show better detail (pictures and procedures) than Haynes.
Some libraries may have a subscription to Alldata that you can photocopy the pages that you need. Sometimes an exploded view tells you everything that you need to know.
