thanks Rgun....back when I drag raced and we narrowed rear axles we used this method...doing this has been around for a long time...

Zepp, im going to use acetylene torch to heat the axle tube...ill start in a small spot and quench with water rag...you actually heat it on the side it needs to go...when you heat it itll go the other direction ,and then pull back past where it was...that's the 1st method ill use...as bad as it is I may have to use a press to get it close...
the red arrow shows where on the tube ill heat between spring pad and diff housing...
