Question can I turn the front axle tube in the differential housing?
I’m a new member from the North Eastern Europe,bought a wrecked 2500 CTD Club cab 4x4 auto trans in Marryland,am currently resurrecting the rig.
My problem: in the accident the front axle is turned clockwise in the differential housing some 6 mm,the welded points are broken,due to it the caster of the right wheel has changed and is negative.Does anybody know what to do in this case,I’d like to repair the original axle and avoid as long as possible to put a new one in,because of the price and availability.Mine is the 3rd Dodge/Cummins in this country and there are whole 3 at all.
Will I succeed in turning the axle tube in the differential housing,if I’ll heat the housing,if so how high can be the temperature?
Is the differential housing made from pig iron or is it steel?
If I disassemble the front axle,should I put new seals in to assemble it again,if so, which ones?
And the most stupid question-may I try to heat the front axle assembled to turn the axle tube in differential housing,or will I damage the seals there in?
Will I need other parts in a process of assembly of the axle after the repair ,if so, what parts.?
