I have a tapered D44 with a bent axle, I have a good one but I need a new bearing/race and to have it pressed on. nobody around me has a clue as to what to do.


Does anyone know of a shop in socal, preferably in the Inland Empire or Orange County that I can do this?

Chuck,
If you get a new bearing we can press it on at brother in laws house in Elsinore next week.

From what I'm understanding the bearing isn't pressed on, but there is a retaining ring that is, to hold the bearing in place. I've sourced the bearings and seals and am working on a new retainer ring....thanks.
