Trailer “troubles”

So I had those brake issues last summer and ended up dismantling the system in the rear axle and bleeding the system.

Fast forward to now and I’m finally getting around to replacing everything. Only issue is that the front axle, now that I’ve gotten the drum/hub combo off, is clearly corroded all around the surface which is supposed to hold a seal on the back of the hub.

So I sit here and realize that I’ve got the thing 99% dismantled, now might be the time to replace the axle.

So I ask:

1) Would you just steel brush/wool the surface smooth and trust that the hefty seal on the hub will be fine?

2) Do you think it’s a good time to swap to torsion axles for maintenance purposes?
