After you remove those 8 bolts do not pry on the axle. If this has not been apart in a long time odds are it is stuck good. If you look in the center you see 2 almost half circles. Hit that with a dead blow hammer or a chunk of wood behind a hammer and this shock effect should pop the axle loose. Prying creates burrs and burrs create leaks and at 65 mph on the freeway this makes a heck of a mess. Also you should be able to get the sockets at NAPA or a truck center.
