After all welding is completed, lay the fixture on a flat surface, shim as required, place the housing in the fixture, bolt down the center section, place the U-bolts over the axle tubes, put the pre-load brace in place, measure from the outside flange to the outside flange, record the measurement. Then turn down the U-bolts, which, in turn, will apply downward pressure to the axle tubes, re-measure from flange to flange, if the NEW figure is approximately 1/4 inch LONGER, start stitch welding the pre-load brace to the rear axle tubes. Watch the heat and watch for warping. Weld from side to side in small stitches. Let everything cool entirely before pulling out of jig, and you're done. | After all welding is completed, lay the fixture on a flat surface, shim as required, place the housing in the fixture, bolt down the center section, place the U-bolts over the axle tubes, put the pre-load brace in place, measure from the outside flange to the outside flange, record the measurement.
