I used a side cutter. or some people call it a wiz wheel.I took tape and wraped it around the tubes and used that as a guide for how much needed to come off.and to help keep things straight

No they are not that bad to do posi-unit Iam not sure what you mean.but I got a spool in my car so it was cake.my bearings were already pressed on my axles so that was good all I had to do was cut the tubes and bolt the axles to the housing make sure you level the end of the tubes after you cut them and use lots of sealer so the ends dont leak. if that is the way yours is done.I had to leave 1/4 in on the end of the tube and that would go up into the c-clip eliminator.

its best to take out of car and bring to to rear end spec shop ,,they use a chop saw and know just how much to cut off,,and another thing is...i never seened a c- clip elimm that didnt leak!! you dont need a seal kit it should be in with the kit....should have gotting a 9inch they dont leak.............
