Val that was exactly my experience in the Summer. The bearing itself 
[rollers and cage] seemed fine; but the stub had rutted. The vibration was 
so bad that it made 2 slave cylinders leak within a month. I overdid it with 
the knurling and finally had to destroy the bearing to get the brake drum 
back off ...duh...

In fact here's a picture...
