That's a 28 spline carrier so, you will have to use 28 spline axles. I would reuse your axles assuming they are in good shape. Check for wear at the bearing location.

IDK about that stuff in the Ebay ad, Does not mention brands anywhere that I see. I would want Timken bearings for sure. That is awful cheap for all that, I would be leery.
