Nice find on that 8520, Jerry, and a nice repair too!
Your steel sleeve should be just fine. I repaired the rear hub on my 83 Honda Gold Wing the same way, using a steel sleeve, pressed in along with plain old red Loctite . I had to borrow the use of a friend's 24" lathe to turn the bearing recess, but it worked just fine. As previously mentioned, I pressed in the sleeve, then turned the bore of the sleeve to the final dimension. After that the wheels got new bearings every time they got new tires. Bearings were cheap compared to wheel hubs.
