Your first one sounds exactly like what happened to mine, in which just one 
side of the casting had been worn away to the point where the 'ear' broke 
off.  As to why, the pressures from the release arm must have been very 
unequal, possibly through a problem on the pivot of that, or how the arm and 
bearing had been assembled.  At the risk of more insults possibly that 
situation still applies.  Fortunately on mine it hasn't (some 17 years 
later) although I was foolish enough to fit a roller bearing release bearing 
at additional and great expense even though a carbon bearing was in the kit. 
And *that* started squealing slightly just as I release or take up the 
pressure a few months after fitting.  But I've left it to see what happened, 
and it hasn't got any worse although it still does it.
