I just got a box of goodies from Chuck for my front axle, which is the same Timken 51524 as the rear.

Pictured is the pile of pinion bearings. There is one called the pinion pilot bearing. That will need to be replaced, even if not rusty. Mine looked good, but the race was pitted. If that fails, it will most likely ruin your axle. You can see its home in the picture.
