Subject: [CR]Avocet sealed bearing hubs - Axle Replacement

Anyone ever replaced an axle on the Avocet Model II hubs with sealed bearings? Were the axles unique, or can one obtain replacements? Are special tools required to change bearings or axles? Were these hubs made for 120mm or 126mm spacing, or were there two different versions?
