It will most likely happen just like that. I doesn't look compromised at all. But, if the bearings are bad, or go out, I can get inners and outers from Torque-King for $220. They're special order and on the pricey-side, but available. It appears Torque-King also has other bearings, seals, etc for the HO52/HO72 axles.
