yah the wheel bearings don;t like the bfh very much.
all you had to do was put anti-seize before it rusted.
for some reason nobody does when the car is new!

Here - the inner face of my front rotor had rusted so much it separated from the outer face:

As far eaten away as those fins were, the rotor was a goner anyway, with or without a BFH. Hitting the rotor to where it separated probably saved your butt on the road. It's called a blessing in disguise.
