Re: Dana 44
Swamp Rat documented much of this repair in his build thread - Rat Repair
You will need a couple special sockets. One for the spindles the other to torque the upper ball joint seats. If you do a search, Dana-Spicer has the service manual for this axle online.

Re: Dana 44
I would highly recommend using spicer ball joints. Every other brand I tried had a short lifespan.
