Service intervals have existed since the very beginning. We always intended it to be a service item, with exception of the IMS Solution, that doesn't need any servicing.
We actually came up with a trade-up discount for people replacing their bearing a second time to offset cost of doing the job again. This equates to offering them at cost. What people don't realize is that we don't sell these things direct to shops or retail - 99% go through wholesale channels and they won't touch a part unless they can make min 40% and similar margin for shops.
