Still working on adjusting this axle. Pretty much have tried all the suggestions including bumping into a wall & driving it around a while with the clamps & pins removed. Also removed the spindle and replaced it with a 5 foot heavy walled pipe and pulled the end towards the rear axle with a come-along until the pipe was bending. All the while heating and hammering on the tubes. The tubes haven’t budged even a hair.
So finally have removed the entire front axle and stripped it down to just the outer axle tube and the two adjustable insert tubes. Tonight will rig up a better way to heat it and can at least get a good swing at all sides with a sledge now. Then may weld up some brackets so I can use a 20-ton jack to try and push them apart. I blew apart a 12 ton jack already but didn’t have it really squarely aligned hence the need for the brackets.
