13 moving parts if you're generous.
I count each ball/roller in a bearing as a separate moving part...
What about the splines in each of the stub axles? Do you count each spline or just the 2 stub axles?

The ball or roller could be a separate moving part, but it can only be serviced as a complete brg assembly, so it really is only one part. I wonder how the ceramic bearing would go in that application, less friction and not as critical regarding lubrication or heat stress. Somehow I can see that oil filter becoming an external spin on assembly further up the track and maybe an external coolant to oil heat exchanger for the warmer climates like Australia.
