I have the parts. how should it be done. how to remove axles.how to remove/install balls. how to set top screw on upper(camber?)thanks perhaps a good link?
 
I'd recommend you get a Chilton's or Hayne's manual, well worth the cost.

Dana 44 are all basically the same, so you can search here on CK5, or Google for Dana 44 ball joint ... any Jeep, IH, Ferd, whatever D44. Some examples:

Also a ton of those Youtube things if you're one of those hip young people who use it. (I'm so last century I still haven't figured out texting.)

Thanks for the links. I envy all your modern conveniences, ha ha.
 
w.r.t. convenience, I used to also have "backup camera (passenger)", but the truck actually has a real camera now. :D

I'm pretty sure that somewhere it's listed, but in case you need it, the magic tool for the ball joint is OTC 7080. Amazon, NAPA, O'Reilly's all have it at varying costs.
