I think I will have the 1.1.25" diameter restored on my new shaft using a sleeve and probably a new 1.125x2.5x5/8 roller bearing although my old one does not feel too bad but there are some scratches on the rollers. Fixing the inner bearing if it was a ball would mean removing and replacing the complete torque tube assembly possibly many times as you say Bob and I do not relish that. Unfortunately the only guidelines with the new 5.67/1.0 ratio concern the 'blueing' markings and do not address any installation issues. I can only hope that my approach will put the pinion gear in its correct nominal position ready to be adjusted by the AC bearing housing shims. For Stuart I think if I used the wider race I could not push it into the casing past the current peg position because that would take the pinion gear with it from where it should be...that right?
