Hi all,
First time post here so go easy on me!
I have an issue with a current build I'm working on. There was a CAD error which has resulted in hubs being manufactured with an identical spline form to the driveshaft. Obviously this has resulted in a transition fit and thus making the 2 parts not viable to fit together. What options do I have? Can I get an oversized broaching tool made to clean out the excess material? So far possible resolutions are;
1. Try to use current driveshaft as the broaching tool, creating a lead in to aid location
2. Heating and freezing mating components (very difficult to do as bearing is located right next to the splined area and will likely distort
3. Looking at a tool to individually remove material from each tooth
Any suggestions? Need to do something asap! The hub is EN16T and at this point I'm not sure on the driveshaft material. Any help would be appreciated.
