Ya they work well for a beater, I’ve done them mostly in Safaris, Sonomas, etc...old junk that nobody wants to buy an axle and bearing for. I saw one leaking shortly after installation (they use an o-ring seal that sits in a groove in the outer shell), so I started using RTV on the surface edge before installing so it has additional sealing.
It’s crucial to make sure the tube and the axle shaft by the flange are spotlessly clean and smooth.
