Title: Chevy Dana 44 Questions
Post by: CBakes on July 04, 2011, 07:50:23 PM
I am at a point where I am trying to replace all of the axle joints and spindle bearings. My question is, do you need to completely remove the steering knuckle to get the axle shafts out? Thanks for the help.

you shouldnt have to remove that knuckle.    Did you remove the C clip from inside the carrier?
