HOW Much is safe?

[skipnrocks]

I need to open my Dana 60 spindles up just a little. Not much clearance for a 35 spline shaft on the rear ff. So how much material is safe to remove?

I've opened a few up to fit 35 spline I line bore mine on a lathe

I built a boring tool several years ago that screws on to the spindle and uses a 1-9/16" end mill to bore them out. From what I remember, the Dana 70 spindles are already this size.

I bored out some Dana 44 spindles for my rear to accept 30 spline and if I remember I bored out .060 or better might have been close to .100 it was a good bit. I know I had like .020 clearance between axle OD and spindle ID. Never had any issues

Awesome thanks guys. I'm going To try .08 first and see if it allows me to clear. Then see if I need to go up from there any. As it sits with 35 spline shafts there is probably not enough room to slide a piece of paper in on one side. There is just enough space to spin the shaft freely but no wiggle

What shafts are you running? Factory 35 spline or aftermarket?
I thought yukon Used to send a bit to bore it out right with the axles in a kit

I'm running aftermarket trail ready shafts in a rear application.
