Repairing A Spun Bearing Housing

It is not the best solution by any means, but I have smoothed out a spun axle end and used steel shim stock to make up the spacing. The wear was even around the end, not ovaled, and not too much was worn, and the retainer plate still clamped the new bearing in well, so this jury-rigged fix worked out OK. That was in my younger, poorer days.....
