How old was the bearing?  For a while they were attaching the carbon ring to 
the casting with a roll-pin, but expansion and contraction caused the carbon 
to break up in short order:

this had done 8k.  The manufacturers soon went back to bonded, but that left 
a stock of pinned floating around, so it's been a case of buyer beware ever 
since.
