putting the front end back to together

I need the torque procedure for the upper ball joints; the torque for the diff( the for bolts that hold it in) I replaced the axles seals. I also need the torque procedure for the wheel bearings. I have one in the book but I would like to get some insist on the best ways to do things. Well thanks for your guys time.

Found the torque procedure for the ball joints on here. I just really need the torque spec on the diff itself.

Found these Dana 44 specs on-line. I assume you're looking for the carrier bearing cap torque, since you had to yank the carrier to replace the inner axle seals. You did mark the caps, so you get them put back in the proper orientation, right?

Ring gear bolt torque 45-60ft lbs
Pinion nut torque 200-220ft lbs
Pinion bearing preload 20-40 INCH lbs for NEW pinion bearings
For old pinion bearings the spec is 10-20 INCH lbs.
Carrier bearing cap torque 70-90ft lbs
Backlash spec 0.005-0.008" w/ 0.002 max difference between any 2 points on the ring gear.

Yep I marked everything just need the torque specs. Thanks for your time!

Did you get the wheel bearing procedure dialed too?
