- How to fix bent rear axle tubes. Here I straighten my axle tubes in my built ford 8.8 with 9 inch ends. I use a oxy acetylene torch to heat the tubes and draw them back to being perfectly straight.

Great video, excellent the way you set the camera up to show the gap close as you quenched the hot spot. Seeing is believing. Great work, thanks!
Thanks man!
double tap backwards 10 seconds (if you're on your phone) from the 2:44 point in this video and you can actually see the tube move like an eighth of an inch from the heat! it's pretty cool! nice job! or do this click on 2:50 then 2:40. it's amazing how much it dropped!
Yeah it's pretty cool
Nice stuff. Always wondered how to straighten them up. Now I know. Great work.
Hell of a job...Well done
Nice....keep them coming
Looking good bro 👍
Great watch! Thanks man.
Good job bro!
Nice job
Tnx for the vid.
That job is awaiting me aswell.
Have a 04 TJ sahara. Fitted JKR axles to it.
Had to fab all new brackets to fit the longarms and marry up the jk axles to the tj chassis.
Subseqently the rear axle warped in a smiley arch. Current low tech measurents show 6mm. Or 1/4"
Hope your system works
yeah man mines as straight as an arrow thanks for the love!
Caution,,, As u have already mentioned AT 3:15 you can see the puck is not a tight fit on shaft
## TIP 1 / the puck needs alot larger diameter where it meets axle flange
2 / A locking collar which clamps to alignment bar can also help align /square up axle tube puck
Good video. For an accident damaged axle, how close should I get it in the press before I finish it off with heat? 1/4"-3/8"?
Very good ji
like the clip hope you cap this diff to make it stronger
if you dont the first hole you hit will probably bend it
Lol man this car has made a thousand passes by now making around 950 yo the tire of 2 kits
Super helpful! One concern: does heating and quenching harden the metal, therefore making it more brittle and prone to cracking? Is the area spread out enough that it doesn't really matter?
A tube isn't going to break like that. The center section is by far the weakest
whats material of the rod? I have two 1" ,one is classic normal full iron rod but seemed to me bit bended ,so I bought really hard kind of piston rod (for custom shocks fabrication or hidraulic pistons) but its also bit
bended..and measure with those inaccurate rods is just circa, not very reliable..
or ,do you think 1" rod is too thin,despite its full inside ?
What type of round stock bar and what size bar did you end up using ?
just go to local metal supplier and say i need a piece of 1.5 or 2 inch round stock
can you use map gas if you dont have tanks?
Doesn't get hot enough
