repack them. you're already there and the cost is minimal. get yourself a big flathead screwdriver and good size hammer to know out the bearing hubs (it'll take some pretty good bangs to get it out) and use a large diameter socket to punch it back in (good, quality tools help this.) get your bearings, bearing grease and sandwich baggies. put one bearing in a baggie of its own and glob of grease. work the grease into the bearings as much as you possibly can (i've done this and it is DEFENITELY much cleaner), pack the bearings into the rotors, pack as much grease inot and around the bearings in the rotors and reinstall. run the lock nut down pretty snug and remove it by 1/4 turn. you're done.
