Axial means "in/out" on the line of the crank axis. Radial means "up/down" or "side to side" to the radius.
There is (or was) another place that can do that. I found it at one time but don't remember offhand. Time for some web footwork.
I suspect how Ron does it is machine a sleeve with the proper fit for the bearing as the ID, and bores the case for this to fit tightly on the OD. I also suspect he does it this way to avoid welding, but I'm not saying it can't be welded and rebored.
