·I had to replace mine at 80k miles but that was because I backed the boat too far down the ramp and submerged the rear axle. Then drove it 200 miles back home with water in the lube. Dumb.
The 9 1/4 is a C-clip axle so you will have to remove the inspection cover, the crosspin and then the c-clips just to remove the axles. Once the axles are out you can pull the bearings and press the new ones in.
As far as replacing them, I would. I noticed when mine went bad, they began to eat the axle shaft at the bearing race. Pay a little now or a lot later. Just my 2 cents.
