dont roll the car, or set any wieght on the rear without the inner hub in place...the male portion of the CV joint.
If you can, remove the whole axle, take the male end off and put that back in the hub...then you can service the CV joints while you wait.
As far as towing on a trailer, always cross your straps to prevent side to side jumping of the car...straight strapping will not survive and the car will hop...seen it on show cars, in closed trailers...
This is simple logic....cross the straps.

i don't cross my straps on the teener because there is enough diagonal pull at each corner. how ever on the jeep i have to because i attach to the frame to keep the body from bouncing into the side wall cabinets and ratchet it down very tight, and there is no way to get that much diagonal pull with out crossing.
just always make sure you are pulling at a down and out angle, straight back will not be secure.
this is what works for me with 15+ years of towing on forrest service roads, and broke my cherry on trailer and equipment hauling in high school working at construction equipment rental company. when you have 15 tons of dozer loaded behind you the last thing you want is for it to be moving around.
