For my work, I reused all those parts.

Of course I did use blue threadlock where appropriate. Part of the reason new parts are specified for these operations is the fresh threadlocking compound.

Also, if you have both axles out, you may want to consider swapping them. This changes the wear surfaces and its almost the same as starting over with new axles, since the primary wear mode is forward propulsion (not engine braking).
