Dale, once you have cleaned the bearing, you need to oil them. then you turn them and see how they feel. If the bearing is rust pitted, it is junk. How ever it could rumble on for a long time, depending on how bad they are. They'll have to get pretty bad before they start to wobble, or won't go around. From a practical point of view you could run bearings with minor imperfections as long as you keep a good eye on them. They are probably $60.00 each (or more) so buying some extra wheels gambling that the bearing are good might be a wise move. Put your worst ones in one wheel and watch that one.
The carrier sealing system has proven it's self over time and many bearings are still good for another go.
