Abstract
A driveshaft rebuilding machine for installing an end piece on a driveshaft tube is disclosed. Self-centering clamps engage and center the tube and maintain radial positioning of the tube. A fixture mounts an end piece in precise alignment with the tube. A cylinder ram extends to press-fit the end piece on the tube. During pressing, the clamps and tube are free to move longitudinally as a unit until reaching a stop position but are prevented from moving radially.
