Doing a little heating today and as you can see there was no "reduced heat" around the two rosebuds we were using which resulted in nicely pliable axle.
So much for Ford's instruction to straighten the axle "cold" as heat upsets the metallurgy.

Come to think of it, you're not straightening it, are you?

How can I find fault with a technique which has been done by Rodders since the invention of the "Hot-Rod."

I can't say I have EVER heard of anyone losing an axle end after the modification.

We'll just chalk it up to "good metallurgy" and the "wisdom of Ford."
