Yep, stage 3 failure right there, folks! Had you not ripped the seal off and washed the debris and oil out that bearing would have "felt" fine.
You dodged a bullet for sure.. The only reason that the bearing is still together is because its a dual row... A single would have already completed stage 4 failure and you'd be done..
