Re: 1979 Dana 44 Front Axle Brake Rotor Upgrade

They're all two-piece hub/rotors. The wheel studs are what holds the rotor onto the back of the hub. If you press out the studs the rotor will come off the back of the hub.
What axle are you replacing? What axle is going to be installed? Does it already have disc brakes or is it drums? Open or closed knuckle? AFAIK Dana 44's were not offered in 1979 and had been replaced with the GM 10-bolt axle. Some pictures will help too.
