Wish I could help but it's been awhile since I've messed with mine. I would guess someone should have some laying around as most replace the closed knuckle 44. (Not me).
I had the unfortunate experience of shearing off those 4 studs. Backing out of a parking space, turned the steering wheel "nothing". All 4 broken. Apparently not design for 31x10.5 tires and power steering. I had the knuckle machined to accept a larger stud.
IMPORTANT NOTE TO THOSE WITH CLOSED KNUKLE 44's - I now check the torque on the knuckles monthly! Lucky for me and those on the road it happened in a parking lot and not cruising down the highway!
