Need help replacing sector roller bearing

I am trying to rebuild my steering box. The sector roller bearing has a small spot where the metal shows some galling. I think replacing the roller bearing is beyond my capabilities.
Is there anyone on the barn who does this work?
 
Was there sideways play in the sector shaft?
I'm not volunteering, but you would need a press and a bushing driver set.
It's pretty much a cakewalk with those two items but a press is not in
everyone's garage.....
Hopefully the "torringtons" aren't unobtainium..... I just scrutinized the ones
used in Mustang boxes for someone on another forum and good quality ones have become a bit of a chore to locate.
 
They do make the sector roller kits for some but not all Gemmer types. The little shaft is swaged to hold it in the sector roller pin bore. a little bit of grinding with an appropriate grinding or sanding device will allow it to be removed. Many folks just tack weld spots on the little shaft as required after assembly to keep things in place.
