Gland Nut - Type1

Oh what a subject.
Given the low quality of parts on the market today, is it still advisable to replace that old nut when the flywheel is off?
How do you tell if one is worn beyond use?
I am hesitant to replace ANYTHING anymore...

I don't think I have ever used a new one.

Only if the pilot needle bearings are rough after a thorough pack with moly grease.
