i think you want both these parts on the swing arm, held on with the castle nut, for flat towing.

Yup!
Reason: The stub axle supports the back inner race of the bearing. When bolted in place it keeps the double row bearing together. I reason that if only the hub is installed, the hub can be stressed vertically and with motion, possibly start to spit the inner race of the back row bearing out. This would probably cause it's destruction if the inner race moves enough that the ball bearings don't track properly plus kill the dirt/water seal on the backside. Anyway, yes I bored. |

I flat towed a 914 from Colorado to Alabama with stub axles installed. NO problems there. Just torque the stub axle in place. Bring a spare pair so you can simply remove the whole axle instead of fighting with the CV bolts in the field.

If Zach really wants to have drunks install his engine, he could host a get-together... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)
