Mines got about 8k km on it, with one oil change, plan to do the next
in the spring. Is it really worth a strip?

Worth it? I don't know. Personally, I like to check and re-grease the
bearings. Also there will be a bit of a build up of particulate laden
goop in the body of the hub that didn't come out with the oil change
which is nice to get rid of.

Sounds like a positive move.

It is not an overly complex job for the averagely mechanically
competent person to do.

I'm beginning to see the problem...

It is about a couple of hours work. Tools required; 15 and 17 mm cone
spanners, Shimano tool to remove the brake disc, Ping-****it pliers to
get the cog off. Small screw driver for prying the non drive side
bearing dust cover open. There's a specialised Shimano tool for the hub
dust cover but you can live without that. The dust cover is clockwise
to loosen.

Hmmm...I have all that including the dust cover spanner!

There are a **** ton of small parts which may get confusing on
reassembly so I like to line them up in the correct order for
reassembling in the workshop (kitchen). Parts from the outside cog side
to the middle and parts from the other side to the middle.

1 remove nuts and lock washers.
2 Non Drive side: Remove disc.
3 Drive side: unclip the shifter attachment and strip for cleaning 4
Drive side: remove the dust seal 5 Drive Side: undo the cir-clip
holding on the cog 6 Drive side: pop off the cog 7 Drive side: remove
the main body dust seal (clockwise loosens).
8 Flip the wheel over a big jar. It WILL drip oil.
9 Non Drive side: remove the retaining nut and cone.
10 drop out the internals.
11 Non Drive side: pop the dust cover off the bearings.
12 Non Drive side: get your balls out.
13 clean and de-grease the hub body and ancillary parts.
14 re-assemble with fresh grease where necessary.

That looks quite doable. Thanks for the link.

No worries. Good luck getting the circlip back on.
