[QUOTE="hokie_yj, post: 642945, member: 4238"] Thanks guys. I'm going to pull it out and take it to his shop as soon as I get a chance. He has an alignment bar and all that stuff. The shafts are not all the way in, but they're stuck right now. Idiot me just thought the splines were a little tight so I tried tapping them in with a rubber hammer. Then I realized they were wedged against the I.D. Of the spindle. So I gotta get them back out first. SMDH. Looking at it I've wondered if you could slice the tube half way or so on one side and use a wedge or something to open up the split to get them lined up and then re-weld. The housing is a factory 9" housing and the tubes are only like 1/8". That's why I trussed it so heavily to begin with. I'm definitely frustrated, but I will get it fixed somehow. I'm not giving up on this thing, it's been way too damn long coming. If it comes down to it I'll just buy an aftermarket 9" housing and some spindles and have him build me a new axle to fit my shafts. I don't want to, but I will if I have to. [/QUOTE]
