Hi Gary,
The inner bearing runs directly on the axle, so the axle has a ground
surface in that area. As the outer bearing has it's own inner race, the axle
surface isn't critical. As long as the inner bearings haven't begun to pick-up
on the surface of the shaft then I would re-use as a matter of course. If there
are needle roller marks on the axle then it's time for a new one,
Cheers,
Bill.
