So you are saying the sensor that goes down in the hole rides on the inboard side of that flange on the spindle? Like some sort of magnetic pickup?
Yes, that's exactly it. That flange on the spindle is the encoder. I don't know how sensitive the pickup is to encoder runout but maybe it can be straightened?

The most critical thing is to make sure it doesn't make contact with your new sensor.

Bummer man. On the up side, at least you learned some good stuff there.
