We took axel to truck front end shop. They fixed problem. Everything went back together properly. Front end alignment was than done. Car drivers and handles correctly.

If I had another bent axel. I would not try to fix it myself. I would again have a front end shop take care of it. They did not use heat. They had a big press. Enjoy.
WHN,

You make a valid point and there are a lot of people that would agree with you. However, you have to remember many people on this forum like to work on their Model A's themselves and take a lot of pleasure and pride in fixing things themselves.
