They are easily replaced; they're attached to their posts with "Truarc" snap rings. When you replace them, just wipe the posts clean. Do not add any lubrication to them. It's a good idea to also replace the idler pulley and the belt for good measure while you have the dryer apart. This is just preventive maintenance.
