It can't really be done, because the Corally diff has no room for the collar that is pinned to the Associated axle.
Someone on here made some machined Corally ride-height adjusters, so he could make you some with a 3/8" hole to take the bearing, but you'd have to ask IRS to make you a special axle without the collar. However, why would you want to do this?
The larger Corally (ceramic) axle bearings last forever as they have larger balls and rotate at slower speeds than the Assoc type. Additionally, the larger axle means you'll never break one (we always do the wheel, never the axle!) and the diff itself stays smoother for longer than the Assoc. (see note above for OD). Stick with it, it's great! HTH
