figure this out 2 part quiz.

i understand how it work's my question is how did it back out ? my conclusion is that with an open bearing and all the fresh grease it's like a shoe in the mud the foot comes out and the shoe is left behind. i assume with shielded  bearing's this might not have happned. just my opinion vacuum from the grease since there is no fusion mechanical or other wise except the grease. i was just wondering if anyone thought that was possible. as for clearance the bearing sit's half behind the main gear but no rubbing issues and lots of clearance. was just something i stumbled on and wanted to share with other member's. replaced the bearing's and the reel is fine. broke the race and checked the ball's. all were grey in color but lot's of lube inside the race.
