743 Axle Seal and Bearing Replacement

[Bigworm.1973]

On my 1987 743, I've removed the axles, wear sleeves, seals and inner/outer bearings and cups. Also, I cleaned the chain case and now I'm ready to install the new parts. Does anyone have any tips and tricks to installing these parts? I seen a few different videos, but just curious if anyone have a process that works well.

Put the bearing cups in the freezer and the bearing (which go on the axle) on a hot plate. To tighten the inner bolts, use the axle, with the hub slightly installed, and a long pry bar and you can easily tighten the inner bolts.
