But if for some reason you cannot weld, sometimes you can bolt something. I dont know your geometry or loads, but using a milling machine you could machine a centered hole, and a face on the gearbox case. Then on a lathe, you could manufacture a flange that will be fixed to the machined face with bolts; this flange can be easily machine to receive your bearing. The flange will center with a lip on the hole. To apply the bolts you can thread the case itself, or use some nuts on the interior.
Dissasembly procedure would be slightly modified, since it is possible that you would have to remove the flange to get the bearing or the shaft.

The whole thing, jigs for drilling, tapered taps, pins and the laces all come in a kit...... unfortunately I forget the name and do not have access to that info at the moment.
Works reasonably well though and I have repaired pieces completely broken out that held city water pressure when complete. A frequent repair is the cracks that form on a lobe blower end plates when a rub causes stress cracks. We lace and pin the crack, dress the excess and presumably stop the crack from growing.
Good luck
