I've never thought of myself as being an impatient person when it comes to saving a buck, but after listening to my closest buddies prompting I went ahead and bit the bullet and ordered a set of new axles from Moser. They arrived this morning and they look real nice. Then I got on-line and read that Timken repair post.
So I've now got a spare set of slightly worn axles that can still be used with this kit.
