Corky, you will need to sell him the stub axles as well remember, since they are pinned specifically to that spool. Therefore you will need to get some replacement ones, which is not a show stopper. Just something to keep in mind. Or, Matt you could send me your entire D44, I could cryo it for you at my fathers shop, and pin your existing stub axles to match corkys spool.
It all can me done, and will make your D44 MUCH MUCH stronger than the stock carrier/condition.

The process is not that bad, once you see how it needs to be done. But I went through 3 revisions/installations of the entire rear before we got it right.
