get a dirt bike tire, get a welder, weld the bearing solid, drill out a hole for it to fit on your transaxle then weld it solid. seems stupid but I think it could work.

You would need a keyway broach tool.

i might have thought of a idea what if i take the sprocket off the rim and put a thick piece of steel instead bolt it back to the rim and drill 4 holes in the piece of steel matching a 4 bolt bolt hub

One thing I would look for is a cheap keyway broach tool, I know the kits are a fair bit of money
