Here here Mike L.......I agree wholeheartedly.
If bearings don't fail in the first few thousand cycles, they'll last
virtually forever.
If you actually run load calculations on bearing L10 life, you'll come out
with some astounding numbers. If you check some of the bearing manufacturers
load and life data, you'll find bearings will last in the millions of cycles.
So, as Mike says, if they haven't been abused and appear to be OK after a
careful visual inspection....go ahead and reuse them........BUT......since
they're cheap enough, AND you're already in there, you could replace them.
But......FWIW, it isn't necessary.
