I have a 72 with 911 5 lug conversion. I had the engine out and wanted to repack the CV joints so I pulled the axles with the splined stubs out of the wheel housing, thinking it would be best to keep them all together and make it easier to re-install.
Now I need to tow my car to a new work space and found the wheels wobble around without the splined stubs in place. If I install them then they will flop around while being towed. I was going to use a u-haul two wheel tow dolly. Can I mount it with the rear wheels on the dolly and and lock the steering wheel in place to tow straight and will the rear wheels be ok to roll on and off the dolly? Thanks, Steve |

You shouldn’t ever be rolling the car without the stubs in the hub.

You shouldn’t ever be rolling the car without the stubs in the hub. Thanks, It seems like my stubs (which were not attached to the axles because of previous disassembly) came out pretty easy. Since I have them all bolted together as part of the axle assembly now, should I be able to put them back in without having to bang on the CV's with a big hammer. Full disclosure, I did put the engine back in first, thinking it would be easy to tow without the axles flopping around, but then saw the error of my ways (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif) Steve |
