Well I tore into it this weekend.
Chopped the spindle off with a band saw. Of course I screwed up and had to re-cut it.
Eyeballed up
Our Jig was a 1" solid rod with 5" long aluminum pucks machined to fit exactly inside the spindles
squaring it up
A couple tacks. We were so pre-occupied with getting it straght that we completely forgot about prepping the housing with a V for the weld to get into. So we just put these tacks on to keep it in place then removed the clamps and whatnot and prepped it better. Total Duh moment.
Stuck on there for good
Finished product, removed the brake flanges, ground off the panhard bar mount for the air ride truck, the ABS wire mounts, and brake can mounts
And weighed it for heck of it, was surprised to get it down this far
Hopefully it works out :lolly:
