How to chop and section a car8/24/2023 After that I also cut off the amount needed to shorten it from the housing. I pulled a larger Chrysler C-body rearaxle out of my 'scrap pile' and cut the bearing ends of the housing with a pipecutter. Two for the bearing-ends, and two for inside the 3rd member housing. I found 2 big 5" rounds of aluminium and turned these into axle housing alignment spindles on my lathe. Since Mopar 8-3/4" A-body rearaxles are hard to find, expensive and if found, usually also still have 4" boltcircle wheelstuds, I decided to shorten an existing axle housing. The front wheelstuds of the car already have a 4.5" boltcircle, so this rearend is def. The car's current rearaxle is a flimsy 7-1/4" version, with huge backlash on the gears, worn out drums AND only a 4" wheel boltcircle. I've recently started making a beefier, 8-3/4" replacement rearaxle for my '73 Dodge Dart.
