Tom , there is a bearing sleeve for your job .

I have several axles here with this done . The axle is turned down to the correct size and the bearing # IR1502 installed . I remember buying the sleeve a couple of times , once here in New Zealand , the other online from USA .

Check out your local bearing suppliers .
