Aside from the obvious bearing wear indicators: whine, grinding, excessive play, leakage, etc, and should you have the trans /clutch/bell off the vehicle , and your not certain of the bearings age? I'd replace it..
I doubt you'd want to pull that trans again for the sake of a $ 20-$30 part.
While you have access, replace the oil-lite (pilot) bushing in the flywheel.

is there a trick to getting bearing off of casting or do both need to be replaced?

look up Federal Mogul # 1505-1 BCA . That's just the bearing.

We used to soak these bushes in oil @ least 24 hours. Not done? You should lube with grease before fitting the tranny & make sure the tranny input shaft is not tight in the bush.
