Press it out, clean it up and press in a new bearing.

I’m almost certain that is actually the cast aluminum damaged and created a burr along the outside edge. The bearing was probably bad and sitting on an angle wearing away the cast. But I’ll have a closer look!

ftc:
clean it up and post another pic, i agree it looks like the outer cage is still there

Send it to me.
I'll press out the outer bearing sleeve, clean it, and send it back.
Please remove all your bearings and seals and de-grease it.

If interested, PM me, if not, no worries, I'm good  :lol:

Sandblaster will make it look like new.

after you renew the bearing and you can use the bearing out of kxf which have a wax sought of stuff between the needles different part number ,new seals and sleevs are a must to reduce play and grease often, dont forget to do the swingarm bearings and bolt while your at it could save you the hassle of getting a seize bolt out later.

Hey All. Here’s an update! It turned out that the linkage was damaged and NOT the bearing housing left over. So I had the linkage riemed out and a bronze sleeve made by the machinist here at my work. Pressed them into eachother and the linkage is better than new. Here’s a few photos:
