Hi,
After all, it wasn't the axle. With a new axle it still creaked. Probably the imperfect lineup is not the axle but all the parts around it. Pumpkin, roller bearing, spacer, bearing etc. Since I couldn't find any part that looked like the cause of it, I left it as it is. I`ve gone ahead and cleaned everything, polished the hub`s pins and put it back together.
Also, the new bearing is in and check the difference in freeplay with the first movie:

A lot better . Also, with two bearing in, there`s no freeplay at all anymore.
Fun pic of the 'tool' I made for getting the retainer out:
And: The final result:

Nice and quiet again .
