I am sure that there is lots of good advice in what has already been said. I want to add a word of caution: I found an axle where the hub had been ground onto the halfshaft probably a number of times, requiring a washer under the halfshaft nut so that the split pin could be lined up satisfactorily. Also it seemed that the inner end had the pinion scraping the inside of the differential case, producing silvery bits in the oil! This shows that it can be worth replacing hub and half shaft, so that they are both at the original dimensions.
