I removed the 3 bolts and pulled the axle out of the bracket. I left the bracket in place and never loosened it or moved it. Hopefully this is the correct way to do the install - at least that is the way the book said to do it.
When I reinstalled, I got some help holding the outer part of the CV axle while I very carefully inserted the axle into the differential making sure not to damage the new oil seal. Since I also checked out the new seal on the axle prior to installing and it had a good fit, I'm pretty confident in the integrity of the seal itself.
