Dana 44 cover bolt basics
Differential cover bolts hold the cover to the housing and help seal the gear oil inside. They are small parts, but a loose or stretched bolt can let the gasket weep, so checking them is a quick way to catch problems early. Clean the mating surfaces and inspect the threads before installation, and replace any bolt with damaged threads.
Gasket condition matters as much as the bolts. A cracked or flattened gasket can leak even with correct torque, so replace it whenever the cover comes off. Keep the axle housing clean so the cover seats evenly. When the bolts are removed, look for corrosion or rounded heads, since those signs suggest the fasteners should not be reused.
- Clean the cover and housing faces
- Inspect threads before reuse
- Replace the gasket when the cover is removed
