Is it worth the effort? I thought flange bearings were pretty inexpensive.

Good evening, Towertalkians,
I've got a pretty cruddy TB-2US that I'm soaking. I've removed it
from the top of my TX-455. It's never been serviced and will spin
somewhat freely after a good dosing of PBlaster. Upon turning the
assembly over, I can visualize a ring (just like a ring in a piston
cylinder) that sits inside of the housing and it appears to hold the
bearing captive. The ring has close to a 3/4" gap in it. I'll get a
better idea of when I'm looking at when some of the crud has dissolved.
Question: Once this thing has has a good scrubbing, would it be fair
to assume that the ring could be popped out of the assembly with a
screw driver - freeing-up the bearing?
Thanks & 73,
Jon Pearl - W4ABC
