this mod can be done by anyone with hand tools. the key is only to

a flange bearing can be had for about $10.00 an will self align and
is hardened. that means that all one has to do is bolt it aligned as

If one were to make the column collar with an angle as shown, then
the top plate can be removed for other work.
