??? What size is the hole in the brush holder ? If ya could get
something smaller that the brush hole to keep alignment like in
yer pic maybe some JB Weld could make for a real solid repair .

Here is the adjusted brush holder:

It's not straight so maybe I'll try to adjust. I'll try to
get the wood closer to actual dimensions.
You can see what happened to the set screw. Also the holder
is no longer set; it can slide in and out.
Possibly the brush will hold it in place.

Here's
more detail than you probably want about testing ball
bearings;

Realistically, on these small bearings all that's needed is a
visual inspection for obvious damage & checking that they
rotate smoothly with thrust applied in both directions. If you
decide to replace one, make sure you don't apply pressure on
the outer race while pressing the inner race onto the shaft.
Putting pressure across the balls damages the bearing by
making little dents (brinelling) on the contact surfaces.
