What we did was weld a bead on the axle, mine are square, on the long side from top to bottom starting about an inch away from the spindle. I would think you could do the same with round by welding about 1/3 of the circumference of the axel. The heat from the weld will pull that side (front or back) in. I think each bead pulled it about 3/16". There is a guy in Raytown Mo that is good with these things, let me know if you want his info.

Yes you can take the axel off and use a press but it can be several guess's of off and on before you get it where it needs to be.
