Hey i gotta 94 grand cherokee 2wd and my rear passengers side wheel broke completely off in a freak accident. the rotor and lug nuts are still on the detached wheel and the severed axle is exposed. i'm hoping to pull the axle from the other side and replace it. any advice?
Take the rear cover off of the rear end. make sure you have something to let the fluid drain in. turn the carrier until you see a 5/16ths bolt. take the bolt out and let the pin in the center of the carrier slide down enough to be able to slide the axle inward. that will release the c-clip. then when the c-clip i removed you can just pull the axle out of the houseing but mak sure to not let the carrier spin any while you are pulling the axle out.

i'm kinda new to this level of repair, not sure what you mean by the carrier. also would i still be able to pull the axle out if the lug hub is broken off the shaft and still bolted to the wheel?
Gotcha, i'll try it this weekend. thanks for the insight.
ok took off the rear differential plate, drained the fluid and found the bolt that secures the pin but its not 5/16ths (closer to 7mm but corrugated) any idea what to use to get it off? and will i be able to push the axle out from within the differential? the axle flange is broken off on the outside.
