But they sealed
And your point is what exactly? The bearings will either turn smoothly and easily which is good or will be gritty which is bad. Seals don't make much difference in terms of drag.dmbtiger19 said:
Just turn them by hand and see how they feel. bearings are cheap, easy to replace and a good thing to take care of.

The bearings will tap out easliy with a screw driver through the spindle orifice 
Do the sprocket side first.
There is a tube that runs in between the bearings in the hub.
It can be gently tapped or pried to the side just enough to give you a bit of bearing to tap on, then keep on working your way round so it pops out evenly.
Bearings are pretty cheap for the whole series of bikes that share these hubs.
It's a false economy not to change then while you are there
Do a search and download the manual, I think there's a link to a source in 1-800- cafe help.
The fiddly bit is putting the new ones back in square, a large socket that matches the OD is helpful.
Or a nice engineers pein hammer.
