As you well said now that it’s apart if it were me I would clean and inspect the bearings and repack or replace, along with any seals. God knows their condition and if they were ever serviced.

Is there a reliable way to check the bearing condition? I read a how to article on the interweb last night and it suggested that in most cases the bearings themselves will be fine, as they were very well engineered. It said to grab the axle and see if it will wiggle and click, indicating bad bearings. Also spinning the wheel should make a smooth, whirring sound when good, or a crunchy, rattling when bad.

You guys have a way to check the bearings besides these suggestions?
