FWIW, my old Komfort had < 10k total miles on it when I had the bearings and brakes checked a couple years before I sold it.

My "guy" said I could easily have just replaced the seals and called it good. For the price, it wasn't worth taking the chance. I hate the fact that my KZ has Never-Lubes, which means I'd have to change the entire axle if I wanted to go to EZ Lubes, or so I've been told.
