I have a 5 lug swapped e30, I was doing a front wheel bearing change and I made the dumb mistake of just hammering out the adapter sleeves from the old bearing race.
This unfortunately crated a small ridge on the adapter sleeves that i didn't see. Reinstalling the nut seemed excessively hard, therefore I decided to take it back off and see what the problem was.
This is the result


My options are:
1. Get new bearing, clean up both surfaces, reistall and be done.
2. Get new spindle, new coilover lower mount, cut and weld it, get new inner and outer sleeve, new bearing, reinstall.
It's a V8 swap that I bring to the track, what do you guys advice ?
