You should not need a press for the bearings as they are not normally a real
tight fit and can be tapped in. If you have run this banjo before then you
know the condition of the axles. If you have not run this banjo before then
look very closely at the area where the hub oil seal rides. Make sure it's
nice and smooth to avoid future leaks. If it needs a speedi-sleeve now is
the time to do it.

Subject: Diff
> 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?
