Anyone use a journal sleeve on an axle journal?

I nicked the journal while replacing the axle or "drive shaft" bearings 4+ yrs ago, and now, sure as SHIT see oil and grease leaking into the brake drum on that side of the rear end. It occurred to me that sleeving that journal sure would be preferable to buying 1 or 2 axles, and sure enough, there are some good looking industrial sleeves from Timken and the UK for the job....
