No reason why you can't repack and reuse the bearings if they have done no or little miles Dave. A grease packer is only a couple £'s or put them in a polythene bag filled with some LM grease and force the grease in to them.

IIRC the flanges are the same and you can have the peened type UJ's converted to circlip type, if you know someone capable.
Proptech of Hartlebury, Worcester did mine.
