Dana 44 - Broken Spider Gear

[Mattman2010]

I was starting to do a rebuild on my dana 44 front axle, and decided to pull the diff cover before i started to get to far into doing the rebuild. I found that the drivers side spider gear had teeth that where broken off, and several that where cracked.

How hard is it to replace spider gears? I know people say do not attempt to change gear ratios in a axle if it is your first time because it is a hard thing to do. So I am trying to figure out if I want to replace the spider gears, or just spend the money on a different dana 44.







Thanks, Matt
