Can you elaborate on the metal spray solution? It looks like my axles have some damage where the outer bearing contacts the axle. I am thinking it is the cause of some minor play in the assembly after new bearings were installed. If that is the case, then metal spray and grind is a more practical solution than new axles. Thanks.
Well Steve my axles were badly worn the inner race had spun on the inner bearing. As far as I can make out they spin the shaft between centres on a special machine and spray or fire white hot in my case stainless steel sparks onto the area until its built up to a good base then simply re grind it back on a grinder to fit the 40 mm bearing either way it looks as if its new and its a great way to save your shafts at a sensible price dont you think, regards John(panterauk).
