They don't make grease the color of rust do they?

The static components look okay, the grease in the bearing housing has dried out and turned into little balls that roll around in the housing and give it a gritty feel.

There is a caked on puddle of this stuff in the direction gravity would pull it.

My guess is bearings overheated, the preload is adjusted with a castle nut so probably operator error.

Replacing O-rings just in case.
