Default Front axle shaft u joint help.

I recently changed my drivers side wheel hub and u joint. I haven't done the passenger side yet because I need to know if I have to take the diff cover off and remove a clip from the inside to pull the shaft out. I know that the drivers side did not do this but I have heard that I might for the passenger side. Any advice is much appreciated. Thanks fellow wheelers. And yeah I'm sure there is a thread for this 🤔

No c clip on the front axle period. You may have one on the rear but that would be on both sides.

No c clips on the front axle. Only in a rear c8.25. If you have a older xj with the vacum disconnect the passenger side axle shaft will be in two parts. All you need is a extendable magnet to get the second half of the shaft out. Although you dont need to do that to change the hub and u joint.
