for my education...
are those two pieces stationary (as far as not rotating) and the sleeve with the bearing (upper pic)just slides back and forth on the shout (lower pic)?
I would assume the two pieces are made of dissimilair metal (to reduce friction). what would be the expected clearance?
besides a clearance problem, is it possible there is an alignment where the pieces got asquew and caused the intial stick, then galling
