Dana 44 Torque Specs

[Kirby N.]

My Navajo is getting a dana 44. Anybody know torque specs on the

Wheel Bearings?
Ball Joints?

Do I really need to get the specail sleave wrench for the ball joints?

Thanks

Kirby

Pick up the latest copy of Peterson's 4 Wheel and Offroad. It has an article listing all the torque specs on the DANA 44. Should be the September issue.
