Wondering if anyone has a Jig to rent or borrow? maybe we can buy one as a community and share it?
Holy crap.
(Note to self. Don't let this guy narrow any housings for me)
It's a dana 60 so the shipping charges would kill me. I'm half tempted to throw it in the truck and bring it to Strange since they are close to me.I narrow axle housings. the only way to do it correctly is with a jig. 95% of all the rears i have done are not straight to start with. The jig holds the housing end in the correct position in relation to the side gear centerline. Now with that said I recommend you box it up and UPS it to Moser engineering. You will have it back in a week and with perfect workmanship.
Ok big dog, I see you don't offer any advice accept something condescending. Way to go.

not to bud in--but how do they actually shorten it--From the axle flange end or the carrier end--No being a smart-*** just interested how they do it--Steve
if not it's off to the press and straighten the housing as needed in the affected area which is why i say let the experts do this and not just anyone.
use a piece of angle iron as a guide to get it welded back together straight
Hey, not to reign on your parade, this is all well and good, for a fact, there are a lot of folks that cowboy it and they come out great using the axle shaft as a "true steel bar". I'm still a firm believer that axles aren't rocket ships.
