Model B Rear Axle

I have a 1950 Model B with the standard rear axles that uses one big nut to hold on the wheels. I recently had new rear axle seals installed because the left one was leaking badly. The guy that installed them said that the left axle was scarred because one of the bearings had disintergrated and had chewed up the axle. He said that he didn't think that the seal would last because the axle was in such bad shape. I was upset that he installed the seal on a bad axle, but he donated his garage and labor because I was injured at work, so I couldn't get too upset.

Now after only about 10 hours of use, the axle seal is leaking as badly as ever.

My questions:

1. I want to remove the axle and take it to a local machine shop to have it welded up and turned down to the correct diameter. What is the nominal diameter of the axle where the seal contacts the axle?

2. I am going to try to do it myself. Are there any tricks to removing or installing the axle that I need to know?

3. I don't have a puller. Can I use a 1" oak dowel to drive the axle out of the final drive gear?

Any help or suggestions will be appreciated.

After you remove the nut and shims from under the cap on the inside of the axle housing a wood or brass dowel should work fine. I would check out the price of a good used axle at one of the junk yards, it might be cheeped than welding and turning if you have to pay some one to do the work.
