Late model rear end

I'll post some pics tomorrow, but I managed to get the longer axle tube out of the left side First had to drill out the pins with a 3/4" bit then tried heating up the housing with a torch to see if it would move with not luck. Finally ended up cutting it flat with the carrier, then using a sawzall to cut tube inside the housing in 3 places and it finally came out. What I found is that the axle shaft is tapered, so I need to 1/16 of an inch machined off before I can slide the axle shaft back in. Then all I need to do is finish cleaning it up weld it in place, paint it and I am ready to go
