Yes, if for some reason that hole (bypass port) was actually too small you can enlarge it a tiny bit, but I would not go over 0.80mm !!
For your reference (and because I was curious too...), I just measured two NOS MC, fresh out of the box: a 0.70mm needle fits trough, loosely. 0.80mm...
If the differential was a bit overfilled, or the truck not level, some oil will flow out once you start pulling the axle shaft (splined cap, in this case).
Now, if oil has gotten inside the brake drum, your outer hub seal and/or the (kork)seal in the spindle keyway needs attention...
This can...
Nothing to do with the trailer; usually they don't have drive axles.
What you have there is a stock M35 rear axle housing with at least one custom-made axle shaft.
Typically that's what you need for a free wheeling (lock) hub, put on (one side of) the front rear axle, on a stock tandem. A big...
Before I switched over to these, I only had the early style mirrors (one- and two arms), which came on the early gassers.
There is no comparison, really: 1st, the west coast mirrors give you a much better angle since they stick out further. And 2nd and most important: they don't vibrate!

The stock M35A3 wheels are 20x11" MPT and fit perfectly, for those tires. IMHO, the 365 Conti MPT81 is the best tire you could possibly put on your truck.

It really isn't that difficult to do; it takes me less than one hour to cut...
Looks like someone has swapped parts on it, randomly.... That waste-gate turbo is from an early 5-ton LDS465-1. The compressor housing, as well as that intake elbow should each be rotated 90deg CW. Although I'm not sure if both openings would perfectly align, after that.
He is correct. And that's how the TM tells you to proceed: tighten, then back off a bit (maximum 1/2 turn) until the pin fits through.
Of course that only applies to new- or fairly new ball studs with no obvious wear.
