If you get a hollow spindle (note spindle*, not axle) of the correct length you can.

Cheers Joe - i've had a look for spindles ( quick learner :-) ) and can see one listed described as 135 by 10. As my gap at the rear is 125 so 135 seems right is the 10 pretty universal?

You need to measure the length of your current spindle. It's donkey's years since I've had to replace one (they don't bend or break like they used to) but I'd think 10 is the diameter in mm and it is universal.
