Stub Axle / Spindle Question

I currently have a 8mm king pin.

Can I buy spindles for a 10mm king pin and just swap bearings to fit an 8mm or is the outer bearing diameter larger for 10mm king pin spindles?

The 8mm bearings are 22mm OD, while the 10mm bearings are 26mm OD. There is no interchangeability between spindles designed for 10mm vs. 8mm. Stick with what you have, or upgrade the whole setup (spindle assemblies, king pin assembly).

btw what went wrong with the old ones? I have successfully repaired many spindles if that would help.
