Used hubs with good bearings?! Yikes...
Just get new bearings at the auto parts store ($60-$75 for both) as well as as seals, then have a machine shop swap them ($50-$80).
The only annoyance is that you risk destroying some of the bushings when you remove the hubs, most notably the DTSS bushing. If you destroy the DTSS bushing, there is no stock replacement available unless you purchase new hubs from Mazda.
