I have "broken down" the donor rear end for my  Bug project. The 3.7 diff, 
axles, hubs and brake assy (including backing plates) will be transplanted from 
a 72 midget w/w rear end to an earlier 1/4 elliptical w/w housing. The diff 
looks good with no visible wear marks on the crown or pinion gears. Oil was 
clean. Any suggested routine maintenance as long as I have parts in hand. I 
intend to renew the pinion oil seal on the diff, brake cylinders, hub bearings 
and oil seals. I have no access to a press. Any comments on pressing in the new 
hub bearings or bring them to a machine shop? 
Install in reverse order, eh?
