Rolling On Hubs without halfshafts?
Posted: Thu Apr 21, 2016 10:40 am
Hello
Advice question:
I need to move my TC to my new home sooner rather than later, and am in a slight pickle time-wise making it happen. At the moment, I have a new wheel bearing on one side, and an older wheel bearing on the other side of the differential carrier. All I want to do is roll my TC out of the garage, plop it on a trailer, and tow the trailer about 300 miles to South Bend where the new garage is.
Anyway, what I was wondering was what the safest way to move the car would be at this time? Should I put my old halfshafts back into the hubs and bolt it all together like it was, hopefully not damaging my lip seal in the process? Can I leave the halfshafts out or will this put excessive stress on my rear bearing carriers? Inquiring mind would like to know.
