    Axle and Bearing replacement (center axle)

    Hey guys, I have an old Max II model number is 5036, im replacing the center axle on the right side cause it broke, ill upload a picture to show you.
    when I was removing the axle on the right side and I had gotten it out, I thought I should probably check all the axles and bearings. all seemed good until I checked the center axle on the left side. it was really sloppy due to the copper or brass bushing on the end of the axle on the frame. So I removed the axle (keep in mind ive watched the video from the how to section) apon removing axle I noticed the locking collar was on the inside on the tub not the outside like the rest of the axles AND the other center axle. So my first question is, where is the locking collar "supposed" to go?
    second question is, how do I replace the bushing on the end of the shaft? Do I have to lathe it out? if I have to lathe them out, where can I take it???

    Also something to keep in mind, since this is an old rig im actually the second owner, the owner before me updated the axles, sprokets, and chains so ive got the 5 lug axles.

    Thanks for reading and thank you for taking the time to help me out in advance
