I've got just a few things left to do before pulling my car off the rotisserie and making it a roller. One of them is installing and torquing the rear axle stubs so as not to wreck my new bearings. The car will be a roller with no engine or trans for the next few months. I go back and forth about which would be better - bolt the axles onto the stubs before they go in, or install stubs only for now and bolt the axles in later. It's been decades since I installed an axle with the stub in the car and don't remember how much of a PITA it is compared to the PITA of dealing with loose inner axle ends while the car is a roller without transmission installed. What's your preference?

Depending on how much rolling around you'll be doing, having the axles flopping around can be annoying (coat hangers, plastic straps, etc...to hold the axles level helps).
How about installing the hubs/stub axles and loosely install the axels/cvs finger tight?. If you find they get in the way too much, it'll be easier to remove them. And torqing them is pretty easy when you're ready... |
