You guys weren't kidding about it being uh b!t(h to pull that short side axle tube out of the center section on a 8.8 Explorer rear end.. I'm hard headed, I had to try it... It's out, I cut most of the center section out from around the tube (it was my axle tube doner 8.8 ).. Where I live you can't get a machine shop to even talk to you unless it's a mega dollar job, so I try and do almost everything myself.. I don't have a year and a half to wait on them to "get to it"... I don't want to cut and shorten the long tube, I want the tube to be solid, if y'all saw how some of these guys weld and fab around here you would understand.. Heres my plan, get the long tube out of my good 8.8 and stick the short tube in, spot weld it, then take it to a pro-welder to finish the welding...
