Axle Repair
JBrewer: Great thread, I've just read it from start to finish.
I don't know if it is possible to do on an "O" --but if you can install a bolt, even cutting the head a bit thinner, then you can re-size both the "pin" (thicker bolt) and hole (in cross-member) it is possible to remove ALL the slop. I even went to a metric bolt in my 782, but it came with a bolt originally.
The advantage to a bolt, of course, is that you can tighten it up to properly "clamp" the axle.
