I have noticed that the outer rear wheel bearing (rotor side) always appears to be frozen or extremely hard to rotate with a finger whenever I change a tire. Once you pop the bearing out though, it feels smooth as glass and spins freely. I hope these higher spec bearings prevent the tightness/freezing from happening.

Usually I found that the bearing on the rotor side is hard to move and, like you said, once out seems perfectly fine. This time I can't turn it at all, so I figure it's definitely time for another swap. I'm going with the Nachis this time. Thanks for sharing those specs!
