had put a bur and some scratches and even a partial little groove along the edge where the outside of the bearing edge will sit.

The inner race was stuck and by the time I got it off I had put a bur and some scratches and even a partial little groove along the edge where the outside of the bearing edge will sit. A mechanic that came by to give me a hand said the axle was not compromised and told me to smoove over the bur with my dremel. I did this but I just wanted a second opinion. Im an engineer and I tend to overthink things.

As long as the damage is not where the ball bearings ride you are okay providing it's on the outside of the bearing facing the spindle
