i have a chevy d44 passenger side drop, question is can i just remove ball joints reweld spring perches reverse rotation gear. flip it over and make it high pinion drivers? will the pinion bearing be oiled correctly? or is that all there is too it. Or do i just need to get ford hp d44?

Looks like a bunch of experts here

Dude, when you flip an axle upsidedown the pinion is on the other side of the ring gear....it will now run in the opposite direction... :shaking: Think about it...

dude

dude you didnt read the post, reweld spring perches reverse rotation gear. thats what the high pinion revere gear would be for

 

[StockChevy]

It needs oil or the gears and bearings will get too hot. When you flip it upside down, the oil won't fling up the way it is supposed to.

Rcurrier is correct. When you flip an axle upside down it will run backward because the pinion is on the wrong side of the ring gear. No gear change will fix that problem. On a normal high pinion front, the pinion stays on the correct side of the ring, it just moves up. You CAN NOT use high pinion gears in a normal housing.
