I agree, but will disagree. Flux welds a little hotter than mig. Just like running straight co, runs hotter than 75-25 gas on a mig. Now, I will say, it has to be Clean, he better have his A-game on, and he better have the right wire. As long as he stays away from the single pass wire, he should be ok. But that turns around and complicates the other passes. Hard to control warpage with 3-4 passes. Can I ask a question? What is with cutting the middle of the tube? Why not just the outside end, put in a new axle end, weld it in and call it a day?

Well the reason you cant just cut the end off is because the end of the housing is tapered and is a different diameter. The reason mine is so far in the middle is I messed up. I made a mistake I did my measurements and marked where to cut I was supposed to make the outside cut first so the end would fall off and then I could cut the 2nd time from the housing end. But I foolishly made the inside cut first . So then the loose end was the end that needed to be cut and it was impossible to hold it still and cut it so I made my 2nd cut from the housing end which moved my weld point towards the middle more than I wanted .
