Hammered alxe shafts - repairable?
I picked up a '41 coupe project about a month ago. Last week I was looking at the rear end and noticed the axle nut wasn't sitting square against the washer. Checked the other side, same thing. Pulled the drums today to check them out. First nut off shows signs of being hammered and even has a visible crack. Thought, ok, just some messed up nuts. Then I turned the axle shaft. Seems whoever hammered on the axle nuts also couldn't hit straight. Both shafts are bent in the threads. Is this repairable? Thanks for any help.
