[A/S] Wheel Bearings

[Trapper <trappersemail@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All.
I pulled the wheels to check the brakes, magnets and bearings on my 34 
footer.
 
Brakes good,  one bad magnet (dead, Prodgy missed it) pulled and packed 
the front bearing and checked the rear bearings, poked a little grease 
at them.  
 
Cleaned the spindle, put it all back together.  Along comes my A/S pal 
Gene and tells me that I MUST put new seals in every time I pull the 
wheels.  I told him that I NEVER replaced seals in ten years in the old 
"Stick" trailer and they never leaked.
 
Gene has me worried now.  To replace them takes it out of the regular 
check-up list and moves it to the " Lots-O-work and costs money list"
 
What do you think dirty hands people?
