Re: Stevens Front Axle Tooling FS
So why to they need to be tapered? Today, they make Heli-coil taps and inserts that work great and ensure center at the bottom and for the top you can simply drill it out on a vertical mill an press in a bushing of the correct ID diameter of the kingpin bolt. I've seen this done many times with out issues. This is how a guy in PA did it, who was doing these for one of the model T parts suppliers, and there's lots of his rebuilt axles on the road today without incident.

With the Stevens tool the axle can be repaired on the car. Removal isn't necessary. This video was done with the axle off the car, but can be done with the axle still on. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7DNGT7P79vgModelTMark wrote: ↑Sun Nov 17, 2019 8:45 amSo why to they need to be tapered?
