Shawn, Any pictures showing the damage would be very useful. I'm currious as to the wear in the parking brake plate. Try to size the pictures to 400 pixels wide to post here.

The axle is most likely junk if the outer roller bearing had a major failure. The inner race of the roller bearing turns on the axle and peans it. When it gets undersize all of the stack up on the axle that the large nut compresses moves and soon come loose. This lets the inner race of the roller bearing turn starting this mess all over again.

You have to replace the stub axles with NEW stub axles. Used ones are just as worn out as the ones in your car.

So you are looking at the axle as well as the two bearings, two seals and one 0-ring. Need to flush all of the grease out of the hub housing too.
