I'm doing the same thing, only my axle already "smoked" the last time that I used it. I'll be talking to a place in Everett off Broadway tomorrow called Six Robbless (not sure of the spelling). Should be the same company as suggested above. They were recommended by Boaters world. Boater's World wasn't able to help me much due to severe rust on the brake drum. Looks like I will be buying a new hub assly with bearings inside as a minimum.
