[QUOTE="The-Boss, post: 747250, member: 1305"] Update. I tried heat and a 1in all thread with grease and it couldn't handle it unfortunately. It bent one side decent but not the other. Lot tougher than I thought. I ended up using heat and a big cheater bar. I got it 95% there and will grind the rest. My first thought was a porta power with duck bill but I dont have one unfortunately. I did use heat to help not be so brittle bending it back, then heated them back up and dipped in oil to treat a little. I never had them visually red though. I think it's still pretty strong to wheel without beating on. I am just going to put a spicer in it. The last couple time he broke he was dead in the water in 3 wheel drive so this is just to keep him in the woods especially if we start running out of seats in our group as rigs are down. This is a 35 spline stub on a 04 SD axle I bored the unit bearings out for, so I agree letting go at the yoke is a bad thing, especially with ball joints they can take out. [/QUOTE]
