The inner bearing race stayed on the hub and the bearings came apart. Not surprised and it allowed be to see that water must've gotten into the bearings. They looked red, which I took to be from some rust. Not much, but enough to toast the bearings. But again, my current set up is A-ok.

Appreciate the info.
I actually ordered from Bluepit yesterday and got them today. I opted for a set with the Toyota hub but that sounds like it was overkill. I know that is a good price for all Toyota parts but it’s more than I ever spent on a hub before. Next time around I will do the Dorman hub option if I need another one. I hoping to put it on this weekend. I just picked up a Toyota CV dust seal since I never replaced that when I did my CVs a few months ago. I have a set of seals that came with my Napa axels but considering I spent so much money on the bearing I figured I would get an actual Toyota seal.
