Re: Dana 44 Ring Gear Swap Question
I would suggest look at getting rid of the HO52. Unless times have changed, there is little support for that axle. 14 bolt it and call it a day. I have a HO72 here and cant even give it away. Call a place like Randy's and say HO52 and see what they say. Again, times may have changed...
As far as rebuilding the Dana 44 goes, it is not as easy as a 12 bolt. You will fight the carrier if you don't have a case spreader (I put the gloves on). Maybe you won't have to. Moving old parts from one axle to another is a gamble.
