So remove the cover, pry off the bearing seal and inspect for oil ? Test bearing for wobble.
Many of the new kits have this front seal removed to improve the lubrication of the bearing so this does no harm.
If you find no grease and just oil in the bearing, ask for more opinions?
Remember the replacement kits also upgrade the weak grooved bolt.

The problem with this is that, at least in my case, the shop had to order the LN Engineering replacement bearing ahead of install.
If you go with a different IMS upgrade, that might not be an issue.
