Before you remove your bearings to inspect them, make sure you have new bearing grease seals. When you pull the grease seals to get to the inner bearings, they deform. You cannot re-use them.
After you repack the inner bearing, install the new grease seal by placing a block of wood flat across the back of it and gently tap it in evenly until it is flush.
