Google "Axle Doctor" or "Axle Surgeon". Years ago I watched a machinist cut the bad end of an axle off a truck that had lost the hub. He showed up in a van and very professionally mounted a cutting machine to the axle took some measurements and literally within minutes had the bad spindle cut out and was in the truck looking for a suitable replacement. I was amazed. This was on a semi tractor with a trailer loaded with stone. The truck was back on the road within hours. I was very impressed.
