I'm still scratching my head over this one. Phat seemed to properly sum it up.
What time and effort was saved in cutting (and ruining) the tube/shaft? All bolts have to be loosened/cut using either technique. I bet I could loosen/cut/break all u-joint and cover bolts and drop the torque tube faster than a torch could cut the tube and shaft. Either way the axel/spring bolts have to be loosened.
Now, I realize that I might not know what I'm missing - I do not have a cutting torch. Maybe if I had one, I would think of interesting ways to use it.
This site is great.
