One little caveat. The factory bearing is sealed and the failure is related to seal failure. Logically -do not rely on seals .
There was a recent thread about 'venting the seals. A creative move to discover the causes of IMSB failure.
Some would also say the mode of failure indicates (as you imply) lubrication failure ,which in turn produces damage that looks like load failure. Usually the seals are compromised.
IMS Solution - definitely the best inMHO.
