ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method is directed to onsite repair of vehicle front axle steering components. The apparatus includes a pair of generally mirror-image members coupled by linear bearings and locking devices assembly provides rotary power to a boring bar which extends between the members and through the eye of the axle and a second drive assembly advances the boring bar axially along the eye. The mirror-image members accept pairs of an assortment of collars which adapt the apparatus to various sizes of eye diameters and corresponding boring bar sizes. The method includes the steps of selecting appropriate pairs of collars and a boring bar, positioning the members on the axle, tightening the apparatus to the axle and making appropriate cutting passes, typically a rough and finish cut, through the eye of the axle.
