Just pressed out the rear wheel bearings to find that one of them had spun pretty bad. Left some scorch marks in the seat in the control arm and what looks like a pretty bad score. I tried to get some pics, but the cell phone camera couldn't quite get the right exposure. Am I correct in assuming that I would need to get these machined in order to use them again? If so, is there enough material in there to machine them and still have enough interference for the bearing to seat correctly - or do I need to replace the control arms? I'd appreciate any help possible!

clean the bore up, and check the fit with a new brearing, press fit.
