Damage from the rear bering removal - warning -- rant to

["Teesun68" <teesun68@cadvision.com>]

Roadsterites,
    I just got back my rear axles from a "shop" - I use that term loosely and
the idiots damaged my axles while cutting off the bearing retainer collars.
They took a torch to it and blew through the collar into the shaft.
Grrrrrrr... The damage is about 1/8th deep if that, and maybe 1/4 " long.
So...are the axles knackered, or can I re-use them? Given the amount of meat
that is on them it does not seem to be a big deal, but I thought I'd check
with the experts. Anyone run across that problem and have any opinions?

Thanks...Michael
