Pulling ZJ Axles - tech support?

Ok. I found a guy parting out a ZJ and I'm trying to take his brakes.
On the D35 C clip, I'll need to:
Pull wheels, remove caliper & rotor
Drain diff, remove cover
Locate and remove cross-shaft bolt (pics, anyone? Can't find exact info, but I'll figure it out...)
Push axle in, pull C clips out
Pull axle shaft out, unbolt caliper mounting bracket

Is this correct? Anyone have advice / experience to lend me?
Thanks.
 
Yes... sounds like you got it just fine. I know the 8.25 has a bolt that holds the cross shaft in place. Make sure you get that out before you go wailin on it. it should slide out fairly easy. I expect you should have the brakes off in 45 minutes to an hour.

There is a retaining pin in one end of the cross shaft. You will need a 12pt wrench or socket to remove the retainer. Now the cross pin will push out of the carrier.
