Does anyone have any experience repairing damaged gear pump journals, which ride on bronze sleeve bushings?
 
Yes-

I do.

Machine the journal until it true again, remove minimal amount of material to accomplish this, make a new bronze sleeve bushing to fit the new shaft with the proper clearance. Usually .001" per inch of shaft diameter is the clearance.
