Did you try flushing out the old grease & repacking? The grit was
likely from the flood and the bearing was probably fine if unrusted.

I considered that, but, it does have some rust on it. Also,
since it is a standard size, and probably not that expensive, I
decided to swing by the bearing place Monday and pick up a new one.
I have had a couple of tools where the bearings "seemed" ok, but,
failed on me in short order. As I don't want to mess with pulling
this puppy apart again, it seemed a small enough cost.
