12) Repeat the hole pattern for the top / front side of the housing where possible. There should be a total of
12 hole locations.
13) Center punch all hole locations and drill with a ½” drill bit.
14) Remove all paint around the hole surfaces.
15) Remove all metal shavings from both sides of the axle housing after drilling and grinding. A
telescoping magnet or long rod with a radius tab welded at 90 degrees can be used to scoop out the
shavings.
16) When all metal shavings are removed, slide in the new inner axle sleeves until they are flush with the
end of the stock tube. (Note, 2010+ models will slide in approximately 3/16” past flush with the end of
the axle tube. See image below.
17) Remove paint as needed from the axle C to allow for a clean weld on the end of the axle tube.
18) It is helpful to chamfer the edge of the axle sleeve as shown below to allow for a good weld joint.
