Having stripped & inspected every moving part on my EQ6 a few times now, I have seen absolutely no reason to replace any bearings. If there is no play of any descripion in a bearing there is no point in replacing it.
The only 2 problems you will find is A: The bearings will not be packed with grease effectively, causing problems later on in life for the bearing.
The other problem is imprecise preload adjustments of these bearings from the factory.
Simply repacking the bearings, correctly adjusting the bearing preloads & doing the worm to gear clearance should really be sufficient. Bearings in slow moving EQ mounts should, & will last a long time as long as one plays it smart. Playing it smart comprises NOT thinking the worker at the factory has put the thing together within suitable tolerances lol.
Just my opinon based on the facts presented before me on my particular EQ6 specimen.
