67 Fastback getting 8.8 rear
The second course of action was making a couple reference marks on the axle tube. I scribed a line on the tube right next to the housing. This will let me know how far the tube was pressed in originally. The second reference line will be used to keep the correct orientation of the tube as it is being pressed back in. You can't see the reference marks in the photos but hopefully you get what i mean. I then used my coworkers hydraulic ram. Which i believe he said he got at harbor freight for like 30.00 bucks. I ratchet strapped it down and it pressed it out nice and easy. You can see in the picture I have it in between the spring perch and the housing. I was a little scared of braking the housing or bending the axle tube but it punched it out no problem. Tomorrow Ill make my cut on the tube and take it from there.
