Default Welding on Car axle

One of the control arm brackets has rusted and broken off the rear axle
housing of my car. I can make up a new bracket, but then need to weld
it to the axle housing.. The axle runs inside of this in oil-from the
differential. Can I weld to it without starting a fire? Any advice

thanks,
Scott


Drain the oil.

Pull the diff cover. pull the axle, wipe out the tube with rags, weld,
reassemble, relube.
