To the OP, your idea of purchasing used OEM axles and rebuilding them prior to install is not a bad plan.
I though about doing the same years ago on my 2000S after doing the rebuild. The thing is, removing and replacing the axles is not a terrible job if you have axles ready to go. I spent longer rebuilding the axles than the R/R.
Once you get your old ones out, you can rebuild your at your leisure and be ready for the next round.
