i didn't have a cutting disc last time i did it so i just ground it down with a grinding disc.
didn't pay much attention to heat, stopped pretty frequently anyway to ensure it was all still level (ish)
how do yo guys normally shorten your axles without heating them up too much? I was thinking of small cuts at a time with a grinder packing a slitting disk

Hack saw with some lubrication, it's not that hard... then a touch up with a file or a grinder. I found that it needed a bit more than 10mm (maybe 13 or something) but when I took off 10mm the RA40 axle touched the the spider.
the problem you may be having is that you might have an early style trd lsd. which requires a short axle on one side, even if you put it into a normal x7/x8 housing with its stock axles.
hows that for drunken info'.

Not too bad, but it was for an open centre (ra40)...
How's that for a drunken reply?
Just out of interest, which side?
I am guessing the ra40 and the TE72 housing use the same bearings yes?
