You probably don't "need" to when the O ring is new but I would "just because".

I lost one of those on my 10-second drag car after a few seasons of racing. Only then my close buddy had one weld to the axle tube. I had to go from Rochester New York down to Harrisburg Pennsylvania in with a come along pull the car up onto the trailer. The back tire was locked up because of the green bearing. Nothing like good old tapered roller bearings. Nothing beats them. They are indestructible green bearings. Another story, Axle housing was no good after that

The inner race on my tapered roller bearing spun on the axle. Got so hot it changed the metallurgy of the race, and reduced the OD of the axle shaft.

No symptoms of anything, not out of adjustment. Discovered when I pulled both axles to check everything out before a long trip.

Never saw anything like it.

Stuff happens.
