you must have some weld still attached. i did a dye penetrant test to verify i had ground enough to have crack 360 deg around.

another option is to chuck it up in a lathe and cut the weld off to the crack line...if ya get all the weld cut and the press relieved it should fall apart.

good luck and keep us posted as to what it takes.

Hippy--the 60 stuff is ALOT harder to get out than the 44 stuff---its same but a lil different.

It's a bazillion times more time consuming than a 44, I can straight up grind the weld off of a 44 and have the C's off both sides in about 15 or 20.

My method in your case johnathan, would be to use a acetalyne torch and cut a 45 all the way around the C, right at the edge of the C, then shoot 2 or 3 cut's through the axle tube, it will fall out with 2 or 3 good shot's with a hammer and drift at that point. I prefer the 45 degree torch method, so once you get the tube out, you grind the torch mark's clean, now you have a nice fillet, where you can really lay the weld in there and not just on the outside. It really makes it a bitch if the front end ever get's cut and turned again, but it's stronger than factory.

x-2. I have heard of needing to go that route but I guess I was lucky the times I have done it--but can see how it could possably need to be done.

basacially the same process. i do stuff a hundred times bigger and harder than a diff using the same methods.

like sleeving a propulsion shaft for an aircraft carrier...same thing only bigger.

darius has the same method using a torch vice a lathe...

basically, but a torch and a grinder is about $100, a lathe big enough to spin a housing is a little more money.

The jack stands are fine, and the wood can be removed as it doesnt support any weight. it was only there as I jacked up the ass end to get the tires off but it didnt get any load then either. ive seen worse :eeek:

Well getting the tube out of the inner C was pretty damn easy. I dont have a torch, plasma, or a press so I used a grinder, BFH and a sawzall. First I sprayed some Kroil Oil on it so it could creep down between the tube and the C and maybe loosen some **** up. Then I made two cuts opposite each other through the tube, then used a grinder and ground down at a 45 until I saw the faint signs of a crack on the backside. Then it was just a matter of using the hammer to smack out the two sides.

After some grinding and one hit with the hammer...

One side out...

damn bastard...

 

[whiterice]

Kroil Oil rocks,
Going to have to stop by soon and ck up on progress. Those 42"s looking quite large. Nice work

 

[Six-Nine]

42s muahah.

Thanks Joe

No,Problem

 

[NotMatt]

Looking good though. Oh yeah, and what did yoo call aboot? I was busy and didn't answer and yoo din't leave no voicemail. :redneck:

 

[Cascade_Crawler]

Matt - I called about the tires to see if I can sell them to somebody else or if your brother still might want them...

Narrowed to 65" wide

 

[Boonie Buster]

are the C's welded on, or just sitting on there? you have them rolled to where you want them then?

They are pretty east to rotate once they have been pulled off, but its tacked in place to match the uncut side.
