thanks for the video. usually best to drive these type of seals in with a large socket that is close to the od of the seal

To the people criticizing this repair, this isn't an AMC 20 rear end! Yes, correct torque is vital on those but the Dana 44 is a completely different animal, it's design doesn't rely on a crush collar. Just tighten it up as best you can, ratchet or impact, it don't matter, and go.

Not correct. The Dana 44 does use a crush spacer behind the outboard pinion bearing. The torque on the pinion nut crushing that (new) spacer sets the bearing preload, which should be set at 6 - 9 in-lbs measured on the pinion nut, or if measured from the wheel (with tires and brakes removed) should be 21 - 39 in-lbs total preload. I'm looking at the factory service manual right now for the Nissan M226 differential, which is a Dana 44.

@@gpzjeffrey7974that's incorrect for the Jeep TJ's D44. The TJ D44 is not a true D44. It's a slightly modified design specific to Jeep. As such, it won't compare apples to apples. Using Jeep's FSM, there is no crush washer to replace. The TJ's 44 uses stacked spacers/washers to achieve preload. All it needs is a torque between 160 - 220 ft/lb and you're good to go.

You're supposed to torque down the pinion nut, not just ram it home with an impact. You're gonna prematurely destroy your pinion bearings like that.

@@Garagecouple You’re supposed to set pinion bearing preload with a beam style in/lb torque wrench. The D44 preload from Dana for used bearings is 6-9 in/lbs. If preload is too low, you’ll get differential movement and you’ll hear it as well as risk your bearings, make the seal leak and risk your gears in the long run. Too high and you’ll kill your pinion bearings due to too much friction and heat. Btw that “shaft going through the center” is your pinion. You might want to at least learn the proper terminology before telling people they’re wrong (when they’re right).

@@jackmwashere that's just inaccurate, the torque on the nut is 220ish ft/lbs depending on where you look and what the gear manufacturer suggests. The torque you are referring to is the breakaway torque, which is the amount of force required to turn the pinion. In other words, the correct torque is determined by the force needed to turn the pinion. Leaving the nut at even 10 in/lbs is going to cause far more damage than putting the nut on with an impact that likely didn't even hit 220 ft/lbs.

Be arrogant all you want brother. But hammering in ANY seal like you did is just the worst way you can do it.. Use a sized seal installer. And you clearly do not even own a torqye wrench nor do you understand that EVERY nut and bolt on your jeep has a specific torque spec.. EVERY ONE. Your video could have been kool. But your teaching the wrong ways. So... Try listening to real mechanics and your jeep will last longer.. ASE certified. 20years.

No talking about preload should probably have marked the yoke and nut so you could atleast put it back to the same torque but not really torque its preload. Could hurt your rear-end not doing so.
