Bikes: '96 Litespeed Catalyst, '05 Litespeed Firenze, '06 Litespeed Tuscany, '20 Surly Midnight Special, All are 3x10. It is hilly around here!

You will have to cut the axle to fit so it doesn't stick out beyond the dropout faces and a 135 mm hub normally uses a 146 mm long axle.

They are easy to cut with a hacksaw or Dremmel cut-off wheel and then file the cut end smooth and flat. Thread on a locknut before cutting as it will "chase" and clean up the cut end when you remove it.
