axle housing bent
How easy is it to straighten/re-align the bell of the axle housing. Whilst mounting one of my housings in my lathe, as I rotated the housing to check for rotation clearance, I noticed a.070" difference on the mount face between top and bottom. The housing is mounted with both the inner bearing on a centre fixture on the lathe spindle, and the outer axle exit mounted with a live centre on the tailstock. This ensures the axle alignment is running true. Has anybody straightened tthe bell with any success, and how was it done.
