Default Rebuilding an axle

Has anyone rebuilt an OEM axle with new bearings? If so, where did you get the new parts? I can't find a Honda rebuild kit, other than the boot kit. I'm wondering what Raxles uses. Possibly a vented boot, high temp grease, OEM bearings?

Thanks.

The bearings aren't the only thing that wears. The races in the tulips tend to brinnel and wear over time and are usually reground (cheap remanufactured axles) or replaced. Really, the shaft is the only thig that should be reused IMO. I would just get a quality new replacement if I were you.

Raxles uses all new parts, at least on their Honda stuff.
