why is everyone cutting off the end of the axle tube? all you have to do is drill out three plug welds and push the tube out cut off 3" and press back in and weld it up !


Here is the article i used.

From what I under stand, it takes a 10 ton press to get it out and a 20 to put it in. Is there an easier way because I don't want to cut the end either.
