Alright I have cut my tires. I couldn't believe the weight of the cut off. I would have to say it was about a pound of rubber that was removed. When I got to the last to tires I found the easy way to cut them. #21 blade for the testors knife kit. Flat blade double edge. Just start from the outside and push in.

Now I have ripped my front axle apart and found out what I believe was the problem all along. The front belt was slipping bad enough to where I saw rubber dust and the plastic is worn.

O-ring mod is in play. I am also looking into updating the steering also.

No rear axle shave yet. Just going to start slow with it and pick up from there. I am just surpised the wife hasn't complained because it is ripped apart on your dinner table.
