You need to be sure and weld the housing back together absolutely straight and square. Not impossible, but not so easy either if you've never done it before or don't have the proper equipment. Keeping everything true though the welding process (Heat and Cool) is not easy. You'll need to cut and re-spline the axles or buy new ones. Having said that, I'd say give it a try. Nothing ventured, nothing gained right????? If it doesn't work you can always scrap it and go order one built to size.
