Front upright - did you strip?

[rapidtornado]

In process of cleaning up the front uprights before giving them a lick of paint, did you guys strip them down and replace the bearings as a matter of course? Don't want to get them nice and shiny to find out I got to pull them apart and fit bearings/seals etc

If you could let me know what you did with yours?

Cheers
