outer axle shaft bearing seat

Howdy!!
I'm in the process of changing the front wheel bearings on my truck, and while I was at it, I removed the axle shaft too. I found that the seat on the outside of the axle shaft was ridged and pitted, basically in pretty bad shape. The bearing is shot too and I plan on replacing it, but what can I do for the seat? Can it be turned down with a lathe and then used with an oversized bearing? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!
