front hub seal, should I replace?

[Dominic]

Having removed the front hubs to replace brake pipes, is it ok to re-use the existing seals (can't feel any nicks or roughness) or should I replace them? The hubs slid off the stub axles without any problems - so no mechanical damage caused by levering them off.

I've done that many times - they should be fine. The seal is there more to keep dirt out rather than the grease in.
