'86 D-44 stub shafts trashed?

I pulled the spindles off and out fell lots of BB-sized fragments of what used to be spindle needle bearings. The stub shaft races look exactly like the journal surface of a crankshaft with a spun bearing. The races survive the "fingernail micrometer" test just fine, but will they eat the new needle bearings and new hubs? I know new stub axles will eat me a new one!

Iwould replace the races to be safe. Also check your local salvage yard for an axle shaft. Sometimes outer shafts from Chevy and other D-44 axles will work. Good luck
