The Ford Barn - View Single Post - Maine Machine Shop to Replace wheel Bearing Races?

It takes a big machine, whether a lathe or grinder to swing that end of the housing due to how far the spring hanger sticks out. Someone I talked to, the machine shop they had theirs done cut the hangers off and welded them back on so be careful.
I wonder if a place that grinds big diesel crankshafts could take the bad surface off, shrink fit a new sleeve and polish to correct dimension?
