As a new owner, I would really want to feel comfortable with my shop before I went ahead with a procedure like this for preventative maintenance. Seems that if the bearing removal or install were botched, (or anything else along the way), then I'd also have things to worry about - and may not even know it.

That link involves some chilling reading in the "when to replace" section. It's easy to see why this is a subject with LOTS of different viewpoints and opinions.
