I learned that there are two types of worm gears. The older and newer style.
The older style has an axle grab the whole way through the gear. Meaning you

The newer style worms have more of a blunt end on the splines and when you add
them two of them to an axle, they do not mate up as smoothly as the older
ones.

The new style worm gears have the advantage, that they can be put onto a
5.5- axle like shown in the following pics.
No additional parts are needed to fix the axle inside the gear!!
Thanks for pointing out, there are two types of worm gears. I never
realized there were. But when I knew there was this idea.
