Has anyone here made or retubed axles before?
I took 3 pieces of 8in to make a straight jig to center everything but I think I need new wheels before I weld it because one is bent a bit and shakes when I rotate it.
I basically took the old axle and cut each end off leaving about 8in and found some tube that goes over it. It's not a press fit but it's decently close.
I'm not sure if I should drill 3-4 holes in the larger tube to plug weld the end of the stubs to it to prevent it from stressing the main weld or is it just not needed?
Kinda concerned a bit since it's axles and I don't want them to break when I'm towing it
