A couple of years ago, someone in England took his bevel gear case apart and found the gear loose inside. Being a ships mechanic, he glued the gear back into place and spot welded the gear onto the the shaft. Who knows how long that lasted.
I would not suggest removing the BG box and putting in a new axle. Spending $800-900 for a used BG sounds better in the long run. Because you already have the prop shaft off, replacement shouldn't be a difficult task.
Dealers never repair cars, they just R&R parts and charge a lot.
