Do a search for "JB Weld", and you should find something from Hogjowls telling you how to use JB weld to hold your axles in. It's actually a good idea, and I'll probably go that route myself, eventually, but for now here's a temporay fix, that has worked out great for me.
I used a piece of the sprayer tube from WD-40, and widened the axle slots with an exacto knife, until the slots were large enough for the tube. Then I super glued a bit of tube into each slot. Originally I took a wheel off and inserted the axle through the tube, but one time when I wanted to take the wheels off to get some hair, I just cut a little piece out of the bottom of the tube, and it still holds it snug, and is removeable too.
When I first did this, the axle was tight in the tube, so I coated it with some Green Slime (Teflon based grease), and used my dremel to spin it, and break it in. Now the gear mesh is super smooth, and quiet.
