Re: 4:10 dana 44 (speedracer1996)
Mine was real easy, I had a friend come over to help me lift it into the trunk of my Caddy then I drove to the diff shop and he helped me lift it out of the trunk. A week later, I reversed the procedure and there you go, done.
Oh, and I paid the diff shop $625.00.
I look at diff's like auto trannys, I don't know how, don't have the tools, and don't want 2.
I'm sure someone will chim in here with the help ur lookin' 4, obviously I can't help you out.
Good luck tho,,,,,

My guy had experience with all kinds of rear ends but none with a D44.
Once he got his crap together it was a peice of cake, but he really scared the poop out of me.
If you haven't got a lot of experience doing gears, leave this to a pro.

I did it like Ed, dropped the diff case myself, took it to a shop for the gear swap, then reinstalled the diff myself. A few guys have done the actual gear swap themselves, but they're men, I'm a wimp. I paid $310 for the gear/install kit and $200 for the labor.

Re: 4:10 dana 44 (silver & red CE)
:iagree: with all of the above. I had mine installed by someone else after I pulled the rear end out of the car. I view setting up differentials as an art. Be off by a few thousandths and you risk noisy gears or worse. I paid a couple hundred bucks for my install and it was worth the peace of mind. Mine are still as quiet as stock and now have close to 8,000 miles on them.
