I "think" it could be annealed for machineing but without knowing the precess I can't be sure. Any machining on a hardened part is going to almost certainly be done with a grinder and a controlled lube source and not going to be easy, or cheap.


That's kinda what I was afraid of <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />. I'm not too surprised to hear it'd have to be done w/ a grinder (as opposed to a 'regular' cutting tool). As far as annealing and then re-heat-treating, that sounds like way too much money.

Back on eBay the locker goes. I might put the whole truck on there too...
