you can repack them with grease. But if you notice any noise from them; chances are they are shot and you need new ones. I recommend you change them soon before they damage the spindale which required replacing the hub.

no, you can't they're ball bearings in plastic cage. actually they're not even supposed to be seperated from the races prior to installation. you press the bearings into place and thats it. you can try to add some grease but if they've ran out of grease then they're done for. its not like a roller bearing where you need to pull them apart and grease them every XXX miles.
