Even if you just clean and reuse the existing wheel bearings I would still recheck the axle shaft end play as it's a measurement and procedure sometimes just ignored and sometimes applied but misunderstood. And of course if you replace either bearing you will have to check it again and perhaps readjust. And to get a proper measurement you must make sure you bump the outer races (both) outwards against the backing plates before taking the measurement. Note that unless you need more than 0.050" shims, you can apply any needed adjustment to either side.
