Get a lengtj of piano wire as it works best as it will not bend like an uncoated welding rod will. Needs to be about 3/32 or so in diameter. Cut it to about a foot long. Grind a point on one end. On the pointed end make a 90 degree bend approximatrly 3/8 to 1/2 inch from the end. It has to be a hard bend without much radius. Next take a,piece of rubber hose about 1/4 inch in diameter and 3/8 inches long, and make a hole across the diameter of hose so it can slide on the bent wire with a friction fit. Slide hose to a point on the fram and the point to the center of axle. Do same forvother side and adjust till both sides are equal. Its best to get the measurement and set the sliding hose before loosening axle up, then you can adjust to origonal distance.
