I hope I'll be able 1) to move the shaft 1mm up or down so
the surface in contact with the seal will be "new" and therefore

ring touches, afterwards polish it to a stunning shine....




You really need to get a new shaft. Anything else is going to be a
short term band-aid.



I second the suggestion. My experience is that unless you rebuild with
new, or like new, parts you will have problems in a very short time.
