if i had an 84 w/215K miles, and everything apart, i throw in a new set of bearinig/hub assemblies. i know the old saying "if it ain't broke...", but why push your luck. go for new ones, and put another 215K on her.

The new tapered rear roller bearings are out.

I'd just put a new set in since it's all apart and it's such a PITA to do.
