Yes, I did finally figure it out, and brakes are working great now. Your lucky that it looks like you have all the parts, and they are correctly installed. Are your drums still good? That turned out to be the biggest challenge for me. Was thinking of starting a thread on options I found.
Thanks again for getting back to me on my original question,

The one I took off looks fine, cant get one of the screws off to separate it from the hub but I'll work through that. I'd still be interested in hearing what you did for drums as I'm sure others would as well. I've got a factory service manual and I've found several things that don't jive, like the drums can come off separate from the hubs and the axle shaft will not come out the hole after the backing plate is off on the d44hdf. What did you do for brake hose? I've got a short hard line that runs from the wheel cylinder to a bracket on the knuckle and the hose connects there. There is no way I can get something bent like that and I don't think a longer hose is an option, I don't think a hose would fit between the wheel cylinder and the knuckle.
