Re: d44 gear swap ?

Your gonna need a magnetic holder for that type dial indicator too.
If you have to change your pinion shims, your gonna need a bearing puller. And sometimes the bearing gets messed up depending on what kind of puller you use. Some guys buy a extra pinion bearing and hone out the ID and use that as a "set-up" bearing to make the job go easier.
The Factory overhaul manual covers the job real well.
