Cut it open so you can see the bearing surfaces and the balls, then you will know the condition. And please post pictures. Then send the bearing to LNE if they really want it. Makes sense to do so, because they analyze the bearings and use the data to come up with failure analysis trends. It would be nice if LNE shared the data with us.
