Now before Beezil gets all excited I'm taking about the D44 under my XJ.
I have a bent housing and need to strip it down completely for the shop to straighten it.
I can take anything apart, that's not an issue. What I need to know is how I get it back together. I will not be changing gears or carrier but I do want to replace the carrier bearings and the pinion bearings while I have it apart. I will also be installing ZJ disks if I can come up with a set soon.
Does the D44 have a crush sleeve or is it a torque and go set up on the pinion (provided I keep all the shims in place)? Does replacing the bearings force a change in shims for either the pinion or carrier?
I know I have one slightly twisted axle shaft. Where is a good place to score a set of D44 shafts for a stock style carrier (30 spline IIRC)? Are the stock shafts 30 spline?
Thanks,
