Dennis, it is common in aerospace engines to bore the housing and sleeve the
bore with a liner. Press fit the sleeve and final machine to size and
concentricity between the sides. A good local machine shop should be able to
do this. You will need to evaluate the potential weakening of the housing by
taking out material. Grind-chrome-grind is also an option as someone else
mentioned but likely expensive due to the difficulties of grinding a housing.
This approach is commonly used for shafts.

> I have an old locking differential carrier that I would like to use in a
Triumph powered car that I am building. The problem is: the side bearings have
been taken on and off so many times that one side is worn to the point that it
no longer holds the bearing tight. What can be done to get these bearing
surfaces built back up to spec?
