Keep the oil fresh, change every 5k to reduce acids and particulates.

Keep the RPMs up, >3k, to minimize bearing shock loadings.

Take several trips a week with the engine at operating temp for at least 20 minutes to get rid of moisture.

Perhaps others can suggest a few other strategies for extending bearing life before you replace it.
