If the problem persists I can live with it. But as huey said, it is a matter of accepting the fact that I will never know what was wrong with it.
Just because one set of cartridge bearings is grinding after years of use doesn't mean that a new set of bearings is going to grind out of the box. They are two completely separate units. Replace them and don't worry about them.
