Dropped of the new axle with my indie today....I'm $728 poorer, and that's with a 26% discount!

He said that while it is possible to replace the tone ring, there's still the underlying issue of the rust...that unless the axle is perfect, the new tone ring might get distorted. Glad to be replacing the entire thing.
