Title: Dana 44 rebuild
Post by: 98yj on August 11, 2006, 03:38:12 PM

I'm swapping a Ford F150 Dana 44 front axle into my 88 YJ. I'm changing to GM flat top knuckles, spindles and high steer but keeping the Ford rotors and hubs. I've reached the reassembly point and can't find any good schematics showing the order and direction to replace the spindle seals, spacer and deflector.

Does anyone have a good schematic showing the reassembly of a 76 GM 1/2 ton Dana 44 knuckle and spindle?

Even a haynes will have a diagram for front hub assembly.

No one around here seems to have a Haynes for a 76 GM/Chevy 1/2 ton. I was hoping someone with some experience with a GM Dana 44 and some drawing ability would be able to help out.

Wal Mart sells electronic versions of Haynes manuals. You go to the auto dept. and buy the CD. I believe it works like this: Install it and it lets you download the manual for one model. Might be worth checking into?
