The same hub that has the thread damage also has an undersized bearing locating face, I believe a sleeve could be used to fix this I suspect at not much cost! Spray welding could be another option to repair the hub?....
or i could look at finding a bearing the right size that allows for this.
or should i not touch them?
cheers
