No, the rod (shaft) does not come out of the trans. You need to remove the formed arm that attaches to the shaft. There is a nut on the shaft that can be removed to allow the arm to come off. The shaft installs from the inside. That's the whole point of my previous post. The seal is a circular rubber seal that slips over the shaft and presses into the trans case. There is a special Kent-Moore puller that slips between the shaft and the lip of the seal to allow you to pull it out without scratching the shaft. Without this tool, you need to be very careful to protect the shaft if you try to pry the seal out with a small screwdriver, awl, etc. Once the old seal is off, verify the shaft isn't scored or scratched, slip the new seal over the shaft, and seat it with the appropriate diameter deep socket and a hammer.
Here's one source for the seal:
