dana 44 hubs

i am installing superwench hubs on my 81 blazer and i dont know were the c clips go do i put one on with the trust washer and one after the first piece before the outer hub.

There should only be one c clip. Its the last thing to go on before the face of the hub. A snapring goes on the axle shaft and the c clip goes in the inside wall of the hub right infront of the hub gear.

No sir you do not need two snap rings.

You only need the one on the very end and you dont really even need that. The c-clip does it all.

Disc or drum d44? Open or closed knuckle?

I only ask cause I've never heard of one brand fitting but not the other.

Stock axles SHOULD break before an aftermarket hub.
