... its gonna be enlightening to find out what was binding things up inside


What I can see from the outside of the race - after turning the adjuster ring all the way off the securing plate/ring - is rust. Otherwise everything looks normal.

The grease at the bearing race is rust colored, and a bit dried. The grease IN the bearing is black.

So I assume the rust has gotten in behind the race and expanded such that it binds around the outer race.

But I just @&^%#$ realized something - unless I get the shaft out, I'm not going to get my 742 out either.... ..am I?
