ABSTRACT:
A method of repairing a vehicle axle housing comprising the steps of enlarging a center passageway in the axle housing by, for example, boring, providing a stepped elongate sleeve having an outside diameter greater than the diameter of the enlarged center passageway of the axle housing, heating the axle housing to further enlarge the center passageway, inserting the sleeve in the center passageway and securing by, for example, welding, the sleeve to the axle housing. Typically, the axle housing will be broken into two sections and the above steps will be performed on the sections as well an additional step relating to trimming, by grinding or other suitable process, the opposed ends of the axle housing sections adjacent the fracture.
