Portland Axle shop recommendation

Well in preparing for a long road trip I discovered the left rear tire is soaked with gear oil! UGH! Better now than on the road!

Been doing some research on replacing the axle bearings, and finding a couple local shops that do axle work.

Does anyone have a shop they trust for axle work in the greater portland area?

So far I have come up with Leonard's offroad in Hillsboro, Dutchman axles Portland and Dan's Gears outside of Sherwood.

I will be on the phone tomorrow with most of them, but would love to hear from you all. Thanks in advance!

Give 4 Wheel Parts a call- out on 82nd and Division? Any big decent parts house should be able to press on new bearings and seals for you if you bring the shaft in.
