The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Driveline Pulling rear axle to stop oil leak

I finished machining the other axle and this one only took about two hours including pressing on the sleeve. I used a larger carbide bit that was brazed on the tool which made it a bit more rigid. I was able to take .015” cuts so that cut the time considerably. once I cut thru the hardened steel, I finished with the replaceable inserts tool bit which has chip breaker for a better finish.

I tried both axles in the rear axle tube and it appears that the sleeves will work. When I finally assemble the axles, bearings and seals, I will post the results.

Here are the assembled axles.
