Prepare Differential Housing and Remove Old Axle Tubes

What happens here

The first phase of the project involves preparing the existing axle's differential housing for modification. This begins by securely mounting the differential housing onto a robust work stand or fabrication jig to ensure stability and precise alignment throughout the process. The old, original axle tubes are then systematically removed from the differential housing. This is typically achieved by carefully cutting them away using a reciprocating saw, often referred to as a Sawzall, or an angle grinder with a cutting wheel. Extreme caution must be exercised during this step to avoid damaging the differential housing, as it will be reused as the core component of the new custom axle.

Goal: Separate the differential housing from the old axle tubes
