Re: Dana 44 rebuild

Thanks guys, that’s a big help. Being that I only want to do this one time (for a while, at least) can someone confirm a few things for me? I plan to change out:

#31 Oil seal
#49 Oil seal
#51 Oil seal
#52 Needle bearings
#55 Seal
#56 Inner bearing and race
#58 Outer bearing and race

Along with the upper and lower ball joint assemblies, steering joints, and cover gasket of course. Is there anything else I should change out? Everything inside the carrier seems to be in great shape. If I change out the differential bearings, I will have to have the carrier re-shimmed, right? Sorry for all the questions, I just want to make sure I am going about this correctly. Unfortunately I am on a very tight deadline to get everything put back together.
