Depending on which part of the bearing has fallen out, the cable tie 
should work fine. In my case I had to use the hose clamp because the 
center piece with the needle bearings was what fell out. The inner and 
outer races were still in their places and the added size of the hose 
clamp was enough to hold it up in place for a little while, until the 
rest of the plastic crumbled to nothing. So I ended up replacing the 
bearing anyways....
