Help...front bearing

replacing the right front bearing... and the inner portion of the outer universal joint (i.e. that portion of the drive shaft that rides against the inner face of the wheel bearing)is somewhat galled, I assume a result of my driving so long on a bad bearing.
Should I go ahead and replace that outer universal joint? Will that galling have any impact on the new bearing?
If my description is too vague...let me try again. After removing the hub from the axle, the splined axle shaft is exposed.The inner 1/2 inch or so of the shaft has a slightly larger diameter than the splined shaft and appears to fit snugly against the inner race of the wheel bearing when it is in place. That inner 1/2 inch of the axle appears to be somewhat galled by the old bad bearing.
Will that galling affect the new bearing? Should i replace that universal joint?
Apologies for the detail...but thanks for any advice.
Saturday mechanic,
daveC
