2015 Subaru Forester TR580 CVT Transmission Bearing Replacement

Reporting back on this job. I have ~1500 miles on the rebuild and it is working fine with no leaks.
Rebuild ? Or bearing replacement?
RTV ? I refuse to use it on transmissions, especially automatics / cvt etc.
Other wise good write up and good job. The pulleys looked pretty good, what could be seen.
Is there a reason there is a problem with those bearings?

Replaced the bearings on the primary and secondary pulleys. It's common enough that there are youtube videos of the sound.
The factory service manual calls for three bond rtv.
What would you use in place of rtv?
