Wouldn't hurt to pull, repack (get some synthetic grease) and repack.
Redline makes good stuff, you don't use much so it lasts, and you MUST
clean all, (ALL) the old grease out 1st. Failure to do so will result in
mixing two types of grease (synth or not, same_same). This will cause at
least one of the grease's properties to fail, and funky bearing wear is
right around the corner.
