Hello Jon just returned from the Christmas shop, but Stuart’s illustration pretty much shows the set up, with the ratchet strap hard up against the backplate (chain recommend if using oxy acetylene!) then the bottle jack and the other strap about nine inches further along the axle towards the diff.
I used a four inch length of scaffold pole sliced in half between the bottle jack and the axle do it didn’t kink and straightened the axle cold and used the half shaft to gauge when the axle was straight....it was by no means precision engineering, but it worked!
