Here it is.
Absolutely no grease inside
Some residual oil
No apparent damage to the races. Cant see the balls.
not sure what to take away from this. at 37k the grease is gone. OTOH, it is not deteriorating too badly either, which suggests it was getting oil. Consistent with the "drive it like you stole it to get splash lubrication" theory.

My mind resides in a strange land where the size and location of IMS rear bearings is common knowledge.
Notice we never discuss the bushing at the other end!
