Used Gear Backlash Changes

Need some thoughts on this issue.

Pulled the rear end for Sloppy Jo and the old gears BL was at 15 thousands (checked multiple spots on the ring). They are original and show no bad wear on the teeth.

Should I replace them with new gears to get the BL in spec 6-10 thousands or will there issues using the used gears and resetting the BL?

Thoughts????
