You're probably best off to get a new axle... the shaft itself may have a fair amount of carbon but it's also a case hardened shaft so once you do weld it, the strength it once had will be a good deal less. The bigger issue will be the fact that the shoulders the seal rides on and the meat of the flange plate that keeps crap off the seal will be gone. A new seal surface can be made by machining it down a bit and installing a custom bushing in place for the seal. I've done quite a lot of them on my LS170 at this point... and I'll probably do more... but I've also got a couple of axles like yours that now have spun the bearing a fair amount. Loctite 670 doesn't last very long in that application. I've tried it, several times... those machines just beat on their axles and bearings so hard... it's difficult to keep bearings in them once the shaft starts getting bad. I've also installed grease tubes on mine so I have a central grease bank between the wheels and keep them greased more often. That helps but it's not the final answer...

We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
