 Take a look at these scratches on the rotor bearing.  The photo is not
 that clear, but these marks are not the puzzle joints.  I can feel
 them, but they are too shallow to catch a fingernail on.   This rotor
 also was corroded and I am still trying to get the side seals out.   I
 have not dipped it in parts cleaner yet.   Is this thing a boat anchor?

Strange. If in doubt Jerry put a new bearing in.
I think the parts cleaner might eat the bearing anyway.

   Put the rotor in a pan and fill it with oil and take it to about
200 degrees and let it soak and it will loosen up the seals.
