[QUOTE="clr1001, post: 15154, member: 1570"] For anyone who followed my questions about an 853 axle repair job about a month ago, this is something you should see: "clr1001 853 axle repair etc" is the name of the photo gallery. Here's a brief run-thru of photos by number: 3260-good tube and axle shaft for comparison, 3262-bad tube and axle shaft, 3279-bad tube cut off, 3363-new machined tube vs old bad tube, 3364-outside sleeve vs inside sleeve (guide), 3365-new tube vs old tube (2nd pic), 3368-new shaft vs old shaft, 3377-old hub vs new hub, 3380-inside sleeve (guide tube), 3384-guide tube w/ new axle tube, 3393-new tube welded on, 3398-new tube w/outside sleeve welded on, 3406-same as 3398 with fresh paint, 3425-an operational 853, 3428-new hub plate bolts.
