I was going to take mine to a machine shop but both that I had known for years had closed ;( Drill or dremel/die grinder doesn't sound promising but for sure let us know if you find something that works.

Perhaps one member can buy this step drill and rent it out to other members, or he can charge a fee if you send him your tool for him to bore out the tool to 35mm bore.

If a strong impact (drop on concrete) will put the joint back together, logic dictates a similar impact should pull it apart:
Clamp the axle in a vice that has some meat to it, the wheel side facing down, use some framing lumber etc to hold the spline vertical (and catch when separated). Use the likes of a pickle fork around the axle nut below the wood holding the spline, put the handle of the fork in the top of a jack stand then give it a good solid smack with a 4# motivator. You can drill a hole in a nice heft of steel instead of a pickle fork. You could make the "fork" out of a piece of 1.5" galvanized pipe etc. I have a CV boot that has torn, I was going to look for an over the top boot repair but now I'm thinking I'll do this I'll of course report what I find. Realizing: could very likely use a trailer hitch somehow to hold things too bad the ball hole is only 25mm.

This might do the trick to enlarge the hole. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Champion-1-...0QV-:rk:6:pf:0
@andrewwynn a heavy piece of angle iron with end cut at a bit of an angle sometimes works well for what you are describing.

Harbor freight $19.99 for 2 bits. 1 of which goes up to 1 3/8." Just above the 32mm size.

I have a "super drill" which is kinda like a portable boring bar, I need to finish making the bushing for it to work for this though. Got side tracked with the temp gauge project!
