Yeah, just one more.

If the bearings hadn't been repacked old, why would any new shims be necessary?

If the bearings were installed new, with shims, wouldn't one simply need to
replace the bearings and keep the old shims in there, or do shims change shape
over time?
I realise, of course, that old bearings could have been repacked, and that
would be a different shim setup than brand new bearings, but, if  this were not
the case, wouldnt' the job be simply one of replacing the bearings?
Please explain, someone!
