what I did was gently bent back the metal lip holding the bearing in, a couple bits broke out, can't really avoid that, it thin as paper anyway enough to get the old bearing out. Then I cleaned the pot out, put some sikaflek in there, then put the new bearing in, bent the metal around the edge back over the new bearing. I then let the sikaflex dry overnight. At this point the bearing was nice and tight in there, I then used a punch to tap around the bearing outershell, obviously be careful not to damage the bearing. You really just want to hit the out metal bit of the honeypot so the metal creases over the outer bearing bit. With the sikaflex and the metal punch job it'll be rock solid in there. Or if you can't be ****ed doing the above, just buy a new one and get it painted.
