That's a sealed bearing (or least it's supposed to be sealed).
Theoretically if it were in good condition the sand would not hurt it because the seal would keep it out, but sometimes theory and reality are not the same. Probably the bearing was probably on it's way out already and the sand helped it along in a hurry but i guess it is possible the sand could have eroded the rubber seal causing it to fail. I agree though, sand gets everywhere and is a PITA to get rid of. |
