99 Grand Cherokee Rear End Removal

Greetings! I was wondering if anyone has any info on removing the rear end on a 99 Grand Cherokee (Dana 35). It seems to have more stuff that the 98 and older ZJ series. The biggest pain is seeing how to remove the e-brake cables and then how the actuator levers for the e-brake shoes go back on. Thanks for the help in advance...

PS. I’ve tried to search Youtube for any videos and all I can find are ones about how to change the fluid, how to replace the bearing/seal, or how to remove an older Cherokee rear end.

The easiest way is to pull the 2 cables out of the body at the inside lever. Then deal with them after you get it out. Then there's the ABS wheel sensors and the ball joint on top of the diff. Sway bar links also.
