Default Oil slinger necessary?

Hey guys I ordered everything for my axles to be built and forgot about oil slingers.
I've got the hp30/44, are these necessary? Trying not to postpone this another week!

Yes, without them the pinion bearing(s) and axle-shaft bearings won't be properly lubricated.

Most times you can reuse the slingers..

One was toasted, and I didn't feel like pulling bearings to get the other off. Just ordered new ones, thanks guys!
