Hey Mark.
 Not sure of the specific axle your talking about but if it's similar to my old jeep, it should be easy enough to make a shrink fit collar to retain the axle. Make a sleeve which is .001 / inch of diameter smaller than the axle. So 1.25 x.001= .00125  dia. smaller in the case of a 1.25 dia. axle.  Heat it up and put it on. When it cools , it will not come off...  If you do need to remove it you can probably get it off by reheating. The reheating end of things can be a little iffee.. Most decent machine shops can make an accurate sleeve.
                                            P.J.

Need some info and help!!

Had to take a rear axle disc brake set up off a SCCA Spit so I can run it in vintage. To do that you got to remove the axle bearings. To remove the axle bearings you have to use a chisel and pop one or both sides of the press on axle bearing retaining ring to spread it a small amount so it’ll come off the axle. Then the bearing can come of and the brake backing plate comes off. Iinstallation is the opposite except you use a drum brake backing plates. When I used to work for BCA a thousand years ago we sold replacement press on retaining rings.  So I went to the local industrial bearing distributor, they got the roller bearings, they got the seals they got the inner needle bearings I need  but they say they haven’t seen a press on retainer ring in a zillion years.

So these are Sommers Bros axles, that are probably 15-20 years old, what the heck do I do now??  I have searched the web, called a lot of places and nada.

Anybody got an idea?? I got a pair of axles that are no good that keep the car parked that I just put a new engine in???
