There is a snap ring in there on the lower part of the shaft ..
when you take the arm off look up into the area where the shaft goes and on the outer area of the shaft is a snap ring..
Just above the end of the splined area in this pic..
It is about 1/4-1/8 up into the box above the splines
Not my pic but you get the idea..

That is all mine took nothing else holds them in that I know of..
When it moves that 3/4 dose the top cover move at all..(it is all one piece) If not then LIGHTLY tap it up while trying to pry/unstick the top cover..but remeber that is the sealing area too
That is all I did to both the doner box (on the floor) and the 4x4 box in the rig that I did to get them both out once the cover came up I grabbed it and finshed taping up on the shaft till I could pull it out by the cover

Might I ask, why are your trying to remove the sector shaft?

AFAIK , the sector shaft must be centred to come out.
Just crank it full right , left , find centre and it will line up and pull out
This is what my friend just did the other day to put the 2WD one into the 4X4 steering box for cross over steering.
Hope this helps , good luck.
BTW , when you get them out be careful not to turn them or you will have to totally re-build the box
