It depends on how many miles you have on it. If you have something like 50k+, you might want to go ahead and change them, just 'cause.

He's wrapping them himself I believe. They're not too bad to take off, just need some breaking bars and WD-40... and in my case, a five foot pipe to put around the breaking bar for more leverage (using 2 people, one to hold the socket in place so as to not strip the nut.
