It shouldn't, believe they went to C clips in 91?  My '89 doesn't have C clips
'89 Comanche 5'' 33's, dana 44 playtoy
'91 cherokee 4.5'' 31's DD
'88 Nissan 300zx just for fun
If it seems like a good idea at the time it probably isn't!

nope, just 4 axle retainer bolts...just like the d44 has...take the drum off and u will see a hole in the flange to undo them!
Getting grumpier every day.
99 XJ - It's got sum stuff ,Noel free stuff..
98 ZJ - It's just ugly, but bigger than your Rubi

Since there's only one hole in the flange, will you have to drill three more to get the rest of the bolts out?

Thanks for the clarification, have to do the axle seal, saw those 4 bolts inspecting the brakes.
I think that hole spins around to get at the bolts.
