OAP - the nut at the duplex bearing end was clearly overtightened - hence my comment about assembly problems. It may be that the TR pitch change mechanism has to be taken apart and greased regularly which ,might make the over-tightening a servicing error instead.

If the nut is over-tightened and impinges on the duplex bearing, you have a probable cause for the excess heat and seizing of the bearing.
