The original bearing had no visual wear, but unusually had only one seal fitted from the factory!!

My problem now is that the ceramic bearing has been in service for nearly 7 years and LN recommend replacing the bearing every 75,000 miles or 6 years - does this mean I'm on borrowed time.....
No more so than with the original bearing...
