When I had that one 50mm lens that was out, I went to a Leica Clinic at my local dealer and Gerry Smith (a Leica repair god I assure you) walked outside with my camera and used a special jig instead of a lens to check out the body. So you should be able to send in one piece at a time and get them adjusted correctly. The only exception might be high speed long focus lenses which MAY require matching to a specific camera. I do not want to say more on this subject as I do not want to endlessly discuss DOF again :-).
