|  Bit of info on the top screw holes you should know
After doing my axle shave (again and even closer) I planned to fill the open un-used screw holes with JB weld. The holes filled in nice and the tubes looked uber smooth after filing and painting them. However, When I tried to slide the tube back over the shaft I encountered a "block" inside the tube. Looking through it, I could see a blob of the JB weld on the inside of the tube.  It was an easy fix, to just run a flat blade screw driver to it and giv it a tap to break it off, BUT STILL.:?Each axle had one spot like this so I'm thinking of using some set screws or any of the un-used holes up front and dremeling off the excess. I don't want contaminants getting into the housings. Next axle shave, I'll probably use set screws in the holes and dremel them first before I turn'm down. |

This is something you should have stuck in your sticky instead of starting a thread.:?

Not everone reads them, I planned on adding the info to my axle shave info but who would know about it unless they were searching through? I thought it would be good info to post for everyone running them standard out of the box.

Why didn't you put this in your build thread. instead of a new thread.

Not everyone reads every build. This is info that I felt was worth letting every reader know. How many of us read every build when new info is added? | |

I think we need some warm weather so we can crawl more and be on this forum less. |

 , I do the same my self on a couple of builds everytime I see them back up.And yes, we some nice weather so we can get back out and crawl! I'm tired of being stuck inside with nothing to do but tinker and not test. I keep debating on weather or not to mod the front axle for the 86Jeep steering mod. I was able to lower the servo down since I milled the top of the axle but I'm stuck on having it exposed like it is now, or having it sandwiched between the axle and the motor.:? | |
