+1, don't waste your money having a shop do it.
mtnbke, not sure how your DO alignment tool would work?
If you cut the axle in 1/2 it would work. Bolt the two ends on to the Do's and bend the DO's so the the two ends of the axle meet.
I'm cheap and don't want to kill and axle, I use 2 lag bolts 4 washers and nuts to achieve the same thing
