I have a '94 Ford ball joint 60 (3.125 tube) and I need to rotate pinion up 12* to ease front driveline angle. I have read some stuff over on that other site, seems there are a few ways. If you have actually done this on a 60 help a brother out...
Plan to remove axle from truck, completely gut and cut of all existing brackets. Secure housing to table, rotate Cs. install new brackets. Drink beer(s).
So what is best/preferred method to so? My current plan is to: Grind weld down as best as possible. Hammer until crack. Heat with torch(?). Use long pipe for leverage and/or hammer C to new spot. How hard of a job is this really?
I would consider buying new Cs so I can just cut off the existing and save time and headache. Kingpin Cs are easy to find, ball joint not so much.
A whole front 60 here is not cheap so not really an option to buy one just to harvest Cs off it.
I have seem some cut tube, sleeve and re-weld. Not really liking that option. Have to source correct sized DOM and my welding kung-foo is just OK.
