Re dana 44
I had to remove the carrier to take the ring gear off to put the mini spool in this is common on dana 44 cause the ring gear is to big to slide the pin out with the ring gear attached to the carrier.......The carrier is a pain to get out just take your time and pry carefully.....also mark the bearing caps so you dont switch sides with them or even turn them over on the correct side this would be very bad for your rear end.......you can see how my is marked with a J on the cap and the diff housing.......the other side the J is horizontal not vertical so as not to confuse the sides .....see green arrows below

re dana 44
Also be sure to use lock tight on the ring gear and torque to 60 Foot pounds and torque the caps to 80 foot pounds

Keep up the hard work and you will have a beast to go wheeling with. Once Leo3000 gets all his upgrades done and I get all my repairs done we can take them out to Stoney Lonesome OHV in Cullman and beat on them a little.
