I would like to move my car around without the engine/tranny/axles etc. Is it possible to insert ONLY the stub axle, tighten the nut and NOT damage the bearings? I assume it's safe but I don't want to find out the hard way!

Yup, just torque the stub properly and you could roll it cross country.

yea, you and Thomas told me it would be OK but you're also the same guy who is having more than 40 people over his house for beer and BBQ at 10 am! so I thought I'd double check (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/lol2.gif) Yup on the trailer...next week. |
