I am trying to remove an axle shaft from a dana 35 non c clip and i have unbolted everything and removed the spiders and the axle will not come out am i missing something this is on a 2002 grand cherokee with rear disc

I don't think non c-clip D35s were used after 1990 or 1991. When I removed shafts in my D44 it was very difficult to get them to budge. It took a couple hits with a hammer to break them free and then they slid out, but I would double check for c-clips if I were you.

I have the spider gears out there were no c clips so do i go at it with a slide hammer on the wheel mounting flange

Dana 35's were never made with disc brakes, sounds like the crappy D44 that came with the GC's. I am guessing you pulled the discs and the bolts that hold the axle shafts in place.

That's what I'm thinking. You probably have a D44a, which is aluminum.

The cover looks idenical to my 35

Napa listed 2 options for the rear axle when I went there last night, spicer 35 and 44. There were 2 bearings in each box, and they had the same part num for each axle. Sucks that the wheel bearing went out in your jeep and you werent able to get out to here to use the press. Good luck with both repairs.
