Maybe a little JB Weld to be sure, though?

No amount of trying to put it in would work. I ordered a new axle at whole sale price(aftermarket axle) and it was $65 dollars in my hand. There is a gasket/rubber thing at the end of the half shaft. I broke it while trying to swap it. If that happens, no big deal. Putting in the new studs for the axle was a pain in the royal ***. You're probably going to want help putting the new studs in.
