There was a lot of residue build up inside the shaft(something not visible with bearing in place) the bearing itself had no oil or grease in it. Normally when you take a healthy bearing out, lay it on it's side, a lot of oil will drain out.

There is some good info right here, especially from a person that has done plenty of bearings. Thanks
