Do as you wish but I highly recommend against this. My experience is the sector shafts are not hardened enough to allow this conversion to use the roller bearing. What happens is the shaft become riddled with ridges as the impact (shocks) transferred thru the drag link imprint the sector shaft.
To further this, bearings are typically used in applications where there will be revolutions of the shaft. In the case of the sector shaft, it really is not making revolutions, but is being supported by the bushings. The bushings have much greater surface area for support.
