Since you're an amsoil guy you've probably seen their reasoning behind early differential fluid swaps: http://www.amsoil.com/articlespr/200...egearlube.aspx

If you're talking about the front hub/bearings, they're super easy to swap. A shop quoted me $500+ to change mine so I ordered two new hub/bearing assemblies from Rock Auto @ $90 each and swapped them on myself in about 30 minutes!
Remove wheels, spindle nuts, two bolts on the calipers. Swing calipers up, slide off the old hub, on with the new after applying a bit of axle grease on the spindle shafts and torque to spec. Nothing to it. I even rented a spindle nut tool from autozone but didn't need it.

I was referring to his maintenance he was doing on them........

Not sure when everybody is changing theirs out.
I changed it the 1st time around 50,000 and now that I am over 100,000 I will try to do this again tomorrow time permitting
trans fluid and a little labor is far less money than trans a repair.

I changed the transmission fluid in my new Shelby @ 2,000 miles on the odometer. I wanted the cheap dino fluid out, and pumped in some excellent AMSOIL Synthetic ATF. Now my 6 speed shifts better, especially in cold weather.
