This movement of electrical current causes arcing in the bearings, commonly referred to as electrical discharge machining (EDM). As this continual arcing occurs over time, the surface areas in the bearing race become brittle, and tiny pieces of metal can break off inside the bearing. Eventually,...

Apply a layer of grease inside each bearing race. This is the "shelf" just inside the hub on which the bearings sit. Insert your bearings into each bearing race. Your new bearings will need to be the same size (and number) as your old bearings. ...
