8 3/4 Axle Drilling for BB

So I took my axles to two different machine shops today and both have told me that they dont feel there is enough of the flange on the axle to change it from 5 on 4 to 5 on 4 1/2. Can someone who has had this done chime in and perhaps if someone has a photo of one done they could post it.
Im very limited for machine shops close to me and only have one left to go and see, he told me 60 bucks on the phone which I think sounds way to cheap to do this. I never get that lucky.
