As for repairing it, IMO I'd say it probably wouldn't hold up unless its welded. The force that's put on the bearing is prob enough that any type of epoxy or aluminum weld putty may hold up for a short period, but it would probably just rip apart again. If your really good at welding you could do that and it would be fine as long as its lined up accurately.but again being such a small piece that won't be an easy task to do.i don't really see any other way myself, maybe a more seasoned machinist would know better.
