Kevin, I’m a little late to the thread, do you need to replace the bearings if they are low mileage? My concern is that pressing them off and on again will create issues with the wear pattern established. Thanks.
Yes, it is recommended to replace them. They are relatively inexpensive, and the likelihood is high that they will sustain damage when being pressed off.

Always use a NEW bearing, Bad Ju Ju with pressing on and off, the bearings cannot take that loading. I have pressed many bearings in my lifetime, after trying to go cheap for 1 customer, Never again.
