More ugliness.
This came out of the pocket between the pinion bearings. Looks like a shim, but I'm getting ahead of myself.
Youtube is a wealth of knowledge and I learned that the Dana 44 had been marked on the caps so you cannot mix them up. Note the location and position of the K for each side.
Carrier came out way too be right.
Not much preload on the pinion bearings either.

Traction loc is a generic term, usually Chrysler/Mopar specific. I have rebuile Studebaker twin traction carriers using mopar traction loc parts. Some even had the 19 spline gears.Bez Auto Alchemy

Oops, I should have said "Twin Traction", also probably a generic term for Studebaker. I moved onto the master cylinder/Turner install kit.
I removed the front brake residual valve out of the AMC master. The rear one won't make a difference, even by adding another one down the line, from what I've read.
I pulled the brass flare fitting with a screw.
When it comes to bench bleeding without a residual valve, it takes blocking the hole with your finger to keep the return stroke from sucking air right back in.
Bled and capped off so I can install it without making even more of a mess.

Instructions indicate another hole needs to be drilled into the floor for access to the other reservoir that would otherwise be covered. They even provide a plug to cover the hole.
Fitting the master was close, but Jim Turner did a fine job of getting it just right.
The pedal brace hits the new master, so I had to "modify" it.
Clearance is so close, the bolt doesn't sit right either.
So it gets the die grinder.
So it's finally in and while not the greatest access, I can fill both reservoirs with a funnel. Brake lines are next and once done, I can finally start reinstalling the transmission.Last edited by Topper2011; 01-20-2019, 04:59 AM.

Seeing as how my differential is beat, does anyone know if any Dana 44 carrier will fit? I'm looking at this one.

I suppose axle spline count would be different.
