I have oxy/acet and can braze the crack if you like. I have arc
welded them in years past, but it is very messy. I have also put
them back in with short cracks. MIG should be easy also. It will
take some grinding to get the area smooth enough for the smooth
operation of the bearing to slide. I have everything except TIG in
the welding department.<br>
<br>
JB weld will not hold the crack against further cracking. If you try
this, put a small drilled hole (1/8" or smaller) at the end of the
crack.<br>

<div>After our discovery of a crack in the throw out bearing
shaft on Richard's Diff today I searched the Forum and found
the following from Steve Goodman. Based on the fact that the
crack has not reached the seal area I think we would be safe
to try to repair the crack with the JB weld and put it back
together. <br>
<br>
I have posted a question on the forum about the possibility of
using a mig welder to tack the crack closed. <br>

Agreed about length of crack. Years ago with no time to
replace the shaft and customer not being able to afford it
anyway, I cleaned the crack and gently ground a small V the
length of it and brazed it together. Filed and sanded the
excess brass smooth and put it together. It held together for
the next several years that I tended to the car then lost
track of it. After writing this however the better repair is
replacing the shaft. Dan D is correct too, finding good diffs
is getting harder.<br>

Fun day today. Too many donuts though.<br>
