really simple, get someone you know that has a lathe to build you some bushings out of steel that are the 0.001"-0.002" smaller than the OD of your outer and inner wheel bearings then get your machinist to Bore a 1.501"-1.502" hole in the bushings and get yourself a piece of 1.500" cold rolled steel shaft that is wider than your rearend. after you have cut your rear end apart and takin out the neccesary sections, install all the bushings and the rod through the bushings make sure its all squared up and weld that b***h together. DONT REMOVE THE STEEL SHAFT UNTIL THE REAREND IS TOTALLY COLD or it will move and warp...
