Mistery bolt in the passenger side half shaft assembly - 1995 LEsedan, 4-cyl

According to the free repair guide on Autozone, that should be the
bearing lock bolt on the bottom side that holds the bearing in the
holder. After you remove it, the snap ring holds the halfshaft at the
holder.

See excerpt below:

14. Remove the right halfshaft from the transaxle as follows:
1. Remove the bearing lockbolt. The lockbolt is located in the
center of the halfshaft, near the dampener.
2. Using snapring pliers, remove the snapring and pull the
halfshaft from the transaxle.

Don't the bearing have to sometimes be pressed out? I recall having one one
time and we couldn't get the bearing out for nothing.

That's a clue to find another parts person.
Should be right with the picture for the axle.
Or call another Toyota dealer, and give this guy the parts number.
