If you look at Andy Millins site you'll see photos of how mine and his and others I've worked on are done. I use ball bearings that permit the inner .375 ID pivot compared to the outer OD as the canard flexes in flight under load and not bind. I think the part# from Spruce is also listed on Andy's site. It works well and is very smooth.

At the same time replace the front bearing in the console. There cheap and have play in them that gets annoying on landing. It starts clicking and makes the elevator system feel sloppy! Mainly during landings due to the small correction in pitch during a landing.
