I'm confused as to what I'm seeing on the alignment bar/shaft?

Beerj · May 9, 2016

Looks like he might be using it to determine axle shaft length. Pretty badass either way.

that just what I need for the ole yota! Gears match up and all!

good job on the axle

EddieHall · May 9, 2016

Yes, I machined the stock shafts down so I'm able to determine the length needed ,also ive turned dana 60 shafts. I used an old 30 spline front stub shaft,I just machined the splined shaft off so the yoke/ujoint end can slide to mark the shaft .it can also be used as an alignment bar to weld ends on I have cone bushings to center etc.

Great job, those are no easy task. Ya gotta love those plug welds.

Here is a customers axle housing I did a while back with a TMR shave kit.

That's nice did u machine the inner tube for seal

EddieHall · May 10, 2016

And yes the spot weld were a pain I 1st tried to cut through them and burnt up 2 tips finally I set it up on our Bridgeport,The way gm welded them in was a joke not a straight spot weld looks like there welded at a 45° and not to mention the housing isn't round then they spot weld them and the tubes distorts so when u press them out they galled up the housing so I machined the housing..I've built 2 now and I'm fixing to build a front next..thanks for all the response

Carbide tipped hole saw is the trick.
