Re: Re-Drilling axle shafts
It is probably cheaper to drill new holes then to buy new axle shafts. The machine shops lay out the 5 bolt pattern on the flange and drill the right size hole so that the studs will press in place.
Before having the axles drilled make sure that the bearing surfaces are good.
If you are looking at doing it to the 69 listed in your signature it probably has the shorter axles so you would want to make sure of the availability of axles if you are looking at that option.
