    That’s the kind of evidence I was looking for.  Not the same gear case, but close enough to give me more reason to pull the bearing and make sure I’ve got the seat 100% free of debris.  It’s been a long time since I put that in and I have no idea if I was careless in that regard.  I have tried to fully seat the bearing with a hammer and a wooden dowel, but what you see in the picture is what I was able to come up with.  Probably Sunday I’ll get a chance to get the bearing puller out and see what I come up with.
