The bearing may already be damaged. When you turn the wheel, does the bearing turn with the copper bushing? If it does, then the copper isn't causing the crunchiness, it would have to be the bearing.

Or maybe the remnants of the old plastic bushing got pushed down the shaft (the usual approach) and they are now crunching the lower bearing. I think that has occasionally happened to people in the past.
