pretty happy how this swap when for a amateur mechanic like me.couldnt of done it without todd,his walkthrough made it pretty strait forward ive been emailing him to see if i could give him some of my pics to help others do it.
notice how similar thw d44 is to the 35 knuckle
this is the layer of metal that todd was talking about removing to give more room to the greese cup.i ended up using a grinder and cut off approx. 1/8" and went as far as i could with the diameter of the wheel then air Dremal on the backside to give a spot for the metal to bend and break off then i just pounded it off with a cold chisel and a hammer.also used the dremal with a roundhead bit to smooth the sharp edges.it went fast took me about 15 min. per side.
these are just crappy pics of the work in the snow
i do have many more pics but still have to sort them
