The Ford Barn - View Single Post - Banjo rear end

The drum spun on that axle because the shear key failed. If the key-way is in good shape, I would use 180 Grit abrasive paper to knockoff any high spots, chase 5/8-18 threads and use this axle. Make sure there is no crack starting at the top of the key-way.
