Default Rear Fork Bearing for 2008 Softail

In my 2008 ownwers manual for the 20,000 mi service, it says "Rear fork bearings (if applicable) - Repack. The service manual, if I am reading it correctly does not really state any specific procedure and says the bearing is greased for the life of the bike. Do any of you service the rear fork bearing? Is there something I need to do here, or just leave it alone?
Thanks for your replies.
