would you change both bearings

I would while you've got the saw apart, only a few quid.

I would agree.

As always, much depends on your level of experience in doing this sort of thing. If you have had small engines stripped and fixed then it will probably be relatively easy but if it is a first time, it is going to be an "interesting learning curve".

As I said I have done crank bearings on stihl chainsaws in the past but not had dealing with husky’s, when you google it you see horror stories of damaging cranks and casing trying to do them with out the specific husky tools ,so if it was the case of having to buy a few hundred quids worth of tools for one case it’s  not worth doing ,

If you have done a Stihl with vertical split crankcase then you can do a Husqvarna, not much more to it, just follow my first post, there are some proper idiots on YouTube so do not be put off by them, if you get stuck just shout out.

Yes, if you have done Stihls then it shouldn't be too bad. The stuffers make it a bit more difficult as the typical big "C" type splitter won't fit around the crank lobe but the bar mount splitter will still work OK.
