If the bearings are still "new" and their fit in the case is good, 
there should be no reason to replace them again.

I recommend RIMCO in the Los Angeles area for case work.  Have them 
install "case savers" in ALL your stud holes.  These are steel 
inserts, threaded on the ID and OD.  They will not pull out.  

Since you wrote "again" I am wondering what you did to repair this 
the first time.  Case savers are a permanent fix.  If you ever pull 
case savers out of your case you know that the heads were grossly 
overtightened.
