The bearing was burning up. The problem is not the plastic. It is probably better to have the plastic mount and dump the bearing rather than have the bearing finally jamb and have the belt skidding over the pully and melting. The residue from that can really make a mess of the other wheels and make a belt and pully replacement a larger problem.
The small bearing spins too fast, and with a spinning outer race, the grease extrudes thru the interface of the seals outer perimiter to the outer race. Just a bad design. Spinning outer races are always a miss appication of sorts.
