Filling with JB Weld is probably the worse way to repair one of these. JB
Weld is epoxy & will wear through much faster than the original aluminum
housing & the hole will be back to where it was after not too many miles
have passed.

The only effective way to repair a worn pivot is to machine the hole larger
& press in a bearing or bushing or plate the hole down with palladium &
re-cutting to size. Both repairs require at least an end mill & a fixture to
properly locate the center & alignment of the holes.

        No, I fill it in with JB Weld.
