[QUOTE="halcat, post: 657401, member: 2295"] The easiest way is weld half way around the axle on the opposit side of the bend. The contraction of the weld cooling will pull it right in place. Now you will have to grind off the weld and weld several times, but it will pull it. If you want to know how much you can pull? I had a 69 camero 12 bolt ( very rare) that was bent so bad that when I slid the axle in it touched the seal way before getting to where the bearing rode. I knew the bowed axle wouldn't live long behind a 427, so a few passes with some 7018, walla! [/QUOTE]
