I had an idea to make it easier for me to install axle seals without damaging them. Working the arvo shift at the mill and having it run sweet and i'm not forever attending breakdowns I thought it would be a good time to do a foriegner.
I rummaged through the scrap steel bin and found a bit of broken shaft which I turned it into a drift. one side is to install the axle seals without damaging it and the other side is to install the swivel hub bearing cap into the axle trunion what makes it better is that I was paid to make it
tim. The shaft or solid bar need to be bigger than the outer axle housing. near enough is good enough but if you want precision you need 2 inch shaft turned down to 1 1/4 inch
For you guys who want one sorry guys I only have one more night shift left (and I acually have work to do) and I cant do it on day shift because management will ask questions as to why an electrician is in the machine shop milling and turning home jobs

Ok mate I was going to try and source some shaft for you to turn out some. But you can't so i won't.
