I sure have. Completely cleaned them and inspected for damage, if there's nothing wrong, back in they went.

Yea reuse the spools, clean em up real good though, you don't want any carnage ruining your next set of worms....I went through 6 worms on my front axle, (2 of them i completely stripped, the other 4 looks like a tooth ripped off) and 2 in the rear before swapping over to dlux chromoly worms, and my spools are still going strong.
