I've been taking my own stock level winds from my 6500's and my Hubilie's, and have gently ground down the inner surface where the white plastic piece holds the end of the worm carriage. I did this carefully to not take too much off, with a fine stone, on a variable speed drill. I than fitted the line carriage housing with a 3x7x3 bearing. If you attempt this, do not force the bearing in place, it should slide in snug.
And when using a vise, be careful not to damage the line carriage housing.
