These sleeves are made of a very thin steel hoop that fits over the area where the seal rubs, and are slightly undersize so they need to be forced on. It's set up to do this with a peel off flange that you push it on with, and a simple tool to push them on with. They come in many sizes. I've used them on this flange in the past. You may need to install it using a bearing retainer compound that the bearing shop can sell you.

Thanks guys, I think thats the route I'll go. My best friend Bob swears by them up at the cement plant he was trying to explain these to me the other day but I couldn't picture it. That seems like a much more economical prospect than having it welded up and ground back down which was actually not to unreasonable he could weld it like a thrust surface and grind it down for about 65$-100$ when a brand new yoke NOS if you could find one was over 200$ but if their are no real advantages to welding and grinding it versus sleeving it them i'm definitely sleeving it
