Nah if it ain't broke, don't fix it! Just do the half shaft oil seal

You can get away without pulling the wheel bearing apart. Just undo the 4 bolts and remove the wheel spindle.
This may help

Once the brake disc is off you can remove the 4 bolts and take the spindle off complete.
Some driveshafts will pull straight out exposing the oil seal, but I can't remember which ones

I would check for any play on the bearings first, as worn kingpin bearings make the seal leak (although it's just passed an MOT so they should all be good).
