Vinyl tubing with same ID as original rubber roller, cut with razor blade, and fitted to old bearing with assistance from heat gun. It only works when OD isn't critical to function of device. It may or may not work in other applications, I suspect not too well when the rubber is used to transmit torque, but for an idler in a projector it definitely can work well enough to get things going. The spot I used it is a pinch roller against the flywheel damper preceding the sound drum.
