Hi everyone. I am currently trying to replace my rear wheel , I managed to get the cassette off with little issue but I really don’t know what to do to get the axel part removed. I’ve tried searching everyway I can but can’t fine help with this exact thing. Any help would be appreciated thanks

Bring it to a bike shop. You removed the cassette and freehub body. You need special tools to remove the cassette and my hunch is if you’re struggling with this, setting up the new wheel will be infinitely more difficult for you. Have a pro work on it to make sure it’s set up correctly.
What exactly are you trying to do? Do you have a replacement wheel and you are looking to remove the cassette?
I think you have alreay removed one axle when you have removed the wheel from the frame. That axle is the one you need to keep and use with the new wheel. What you have left is the hub (with cassette and ratchet removed) and its internal axle. You do not need to disassemble this further, if you want to put in a new wheel. If you want to move the cassette to the new wheel, you should be able to do that.
Your new rear wheel should already have an axle, and if it’s not an identical replacement may not use the same axle anyway.
The axle goes through the bearings and sleeve which you appear to be trying to remove for some reason.
Your new wheel should be ready to go with those parts in place
