12 Bolt spun bearing question

[Jeepster376]

Wouldn't you know it, Monday night, I Changed my 12 Bolt rear end fluid to nice new synthetic lube and sealed up the rear with a new gasket. Then Tuesday I head off for work, and two miles later I spin an axle bearing. Had to get it towed home.

So I picked up a pair of new bearings today, and first thing I see there's no inner race on these bearings. So I wonder what' s my axle gonna look like. So anyways, I pulled the remnants of my old bearing out and put the new one in, but looking at my axle, it's got some wear to it, not real bad but it isn't smooth.

So what's gonna happen to the new bearing? I think i can get away with using it, but don't know how long it will last. Do I have to get the axle repaired? Can I get it resurfaced, or should I just get a new axle? Seems pretty stupid to me that there is no inner race. That leaves no tolerance to bearing failures.
