rebuilding a waggy front dana 44. Installed new ball joints in the dedenbears and need to know at what depth do you install the split ring seat in the upper C for the ball joint. I cannot find anything on this. Anybody?

You need to torque it with the splined tool, its in the maintenance manual, I personally just get it as tight as I can. I should clarify, you tighten the lower ball joint nut, then tighten the seat for the upper, then install the upper nut and cotterpins. Tim

Good basic instructions here - with all the torque values:
