They always come off. There's nothing holding them on most of the time. The only kind that have something holding them on is when they have a metal link under the clips holding the cups together.

As long as all the rollers are still there, and the trunnion has no grooves from them, re-use it. Grease it if possible. Use one of those cone-shaped tips in your grease gun; leave one cap on; hold the one you leave on with pliers or something, so that its grease seal seals; dose the 3 with the gun; and pack the one you take off by hand.
