Repairing a bearing shaft

[bvd1940]

It would seem that the best approach would be to disassemble the machine to get to the shaft itself with good access to the surface needing repair, then truing it up with the idea of putting a sleeve in place. You should leave the sleeve oversize on the OD until you have it in place securely, whatever means you use, then if at all possible, turn it true between centers back to proper size to fit an original bearing.

+1 on this fix, we did it for years and usually made a shrink fit with heat with a bit oversize to true it up.:thinking:
Just my 2 cents worth but what do I know:whistle:
