Placing rear bearing on 69 swing axle
Hi
Can I drift the new bearing on my 69 swing axle bug in place using a tube and a hamer or will the cause damage to the transmission? Do I need to heat up the bearing? Thanks, Davy Coeman 69 bug 55 oval 67 SC

You may be surprised that it will simply slip into place. But if it needs a little help, a drift would be fine with light taps. The alternative is to strip the tube and axle off <ugh>.
