Hello! I am in a bit of a predicament. I have wheels that have 5/8 inch bearings. I would like to fit them into a rear axle. My problem is that nobody sells a 1-inch axle to a 5/8 stepdown. I thought I could use a wheel hub, but if fitted on, the axle still can't go through the wheel bearing, therefore nothing prevents it from falling off. I have no welding tools, all wood, and PVC. Please help!
Please Help rear axle .

these are the wheels I have. My only question is, how do can I put these on an axle. I cannot seem to find the correct sizes.

Those are the wrong wheels intirety.. they are a driven wheel.
They are meant for a cart or hand truck...
They will not handle any applied power.
You need to find a more common size 3/4" or 1"
