JUST FYI... I just spoke with Grove and if you call direct they said they have some 5016-2 the ones with 4 - 1/4 holes in stock... I have heard those are hard to get. They are not what I ended up needing I thought I did... I need the regular ones as my gear leg already has the 5/16 hole...

Replace them with grove the original axles can fail without warning and guaranteed wrecked plane. Here is one of my axles I didn't bother checking the other one and just replaced it. Grove p/n 5016-2, this is the standard size with the smaller 1/4" holes. $85.00 ea in 2018.
