My issue with the bearing is that the one side of the bearing had the retainer
ring broke and fell off. Im sure I could get another ring from a replacement
bearing which Ill do. But for now I ordered two other full sheaves from US
Tower.

Have you tried squirting it with WD-40 or a similar elixir to see if you can
free it up? Worked for me. After the WD-40, I applied regular oil to it.
