Rej,
I have a customer that is partners in a business in South Carolina
called Axle Surgeons. They specialize in tube axle spindle
replacement. They chop the old spindle off, machine the axle to accept
a replacement spindle stub, press the stub in, weld, and machine...all
while still on the piece of equipment. I'm not really sure that can do
the same with solid spindles. However, I know that many of the tools
that they use are patented designs so I'm sure that type of work is
availible elsewhere. Maybe get out your yellow pages and call some
chassis shops, they might be able to point you in the right direction.
