Advice: drilling the axle

[1labelloj]

My axles do not have a pilot hole through them. I need advice on how to line up and drill them so that my alignment will be correct. Does the hole at the top of the main gear that attaches to the motor mount ant the hole at the bottom through the axle have any relationship?

Jake,
There are no pilot holes, but the motor mount has a tube welded to the big tube that holds the gear leg. I inserted the gear leg, ran a drill down the little tube and made a mark where the hole needed to go. Then I pulled the gear leg out and drilled the hole through on the press and V block. Gear leg went back in and I punched the hole through to the back side of the gear mount tube. The axles are a different set of holes and there is tooling in your kit to set toe in. The procedure is similar.

I do not know of any toe in tools in my kit. Can you show me what they look like.

Fourth post, second pic. There is a little aluminum collar that slips into the axle. When you clamp the axle & collar to the extrusion it tweaks the axles forward a little bit.
