MK3s -> MK4 should I replace bearings?

I currently have a MK3s and I ordered the full -> 4 upgrade kit (because I'm crazy).  Because the thing will have to be torn down almost completely for the upgrade, it'll be a better opportunity to access the bearings than basically any other time (because it's usually too much of a pain).  Should I replace the stock x and y bearings (circa when the MK3s first shipped, mine was one of the first)?  They seem to behave fine, but I'm not likely to pull the thing apart just to regrease them like some people do.

PS: Are there nextruder hotend socks available?

Bearings - personal preference. If current ones are fine then just re-grease, which is what I would more likely do TBH.

Nextruder Socks : https://www.prusa3d.com/product/prusa-nextruder-silicone-sock-set/

I wanted to buy them but the shipping costs are ridiculous - triple the price of the item alone!

Yikes, yeah, I'm not paying 3x the price of the thing on shipping.

As for greasing the bearings: I don't know, maybe that's the thing to do, I don't know if I want to deal with the effort.
