if the old ones look fine you can reuse them but before removing the pinion I always measure the rotational torque, so I can set the crush back up to the same spec on the used bearings

+1, they can be reused, however it never hurts to get new ones.

Depending on how many miles, I would just put new ones. You're already in there.
