Sorry for the late answer but I could not get into the site for the last few days. All the 44's I've seen have had bearings pressed onto the axles. You've probably found out by now.

Once the axle shafts are removed the lockers are held in place by the inner bearing caps.remove them and the diff will pull out but be careful to note the position of the spacers on each side on the diff or you will be setting things up again. If you're just changing bearings it's not a big job it just takes time so don't try to rush it. good luck.
