G3 wheel bearings

Hi all,
Just stipped the G3 rear wheel bearings as they were rumbling a little. All is fine apart from some light pitting on the outer races. I have just cleaned them up using a wheel cylinder hone, as they now look like new.
My question is has any one else done this to taper bearings and is it OK to use them? I've only licked out 3-5 thou, how deep is the hardening?
Cheers, Mick.

Hi Mick..You shouldn't have a problem with that..bearing outers are 'through' hardened not case hardened...Ian

Surprisingly the inners and rollers are fine. I do have new sets on the shelf, but I do like to make sure I have squeezed every last bit of use out of something before I replace it!
