Thank you for the advice. I have removed the rust and the new cartridge bearing seems to fit ok.
One other thing I was concerned about is further corrosion - but as long as the cartridge and bearing surface are well greased as suggested and kept fairly dry, am I right in thinking this should prevent it getting worse?
(I'm assuming the initial damage was galvanic corrosion as there was a fair bit of rusty liquid in there.)
