I'm thinking that since you already ordered the bearing and have the seal, put it back together with the new parts and see how long it will last.
But....
We need some pics of what you have to help you better.
I have never seen a machine that didn't need a new shaft and both ball bushings replaced. If you have a drill press you can make a new shaft pretty easy. Buy 2 ball bushings and while your that far, get 4 rag joints too.
