You "might not" or you "might destroy the seal and not notice" or you "might can"...
That said, 4 EZ Lube seals for a 3500 pound axle tube cost $10.99 on Amazon with "free delivery" for Prime members.
That's $2.75 per seal. You can buy them cheaper if you catch them on sale at NAPA or if you get a "mechanic's discount".
When you consider that a brake assembly/magnet costs $79, why would anyone "cheap out" on a $2.75 seal and risk having to do it all over again with parts costing 30 times more than that two dollar seal ?????
Sort of like "buying one hamburger at McD's and taking a bite, chewing to enjoy it, spitting it back on the burger and handing it to your buddy.... Some things just are better "used once".... Burgers and axle seals both come to mind, at least for me......
