Hi,

I will be removing my rear driveshaft to have it reworked slightly. During the time that it is removed I was wondering if it will do any harm if I use the front wheels (in 4 wheel high) to pull the JK out of the garage, and then to back it in again.

(I'm sure I can get by with things that won't be accessible while the shaft is removed; but, in case I get in bind, I thought I should ask ahead of time. There will be no street driving, and only minor use of steering.)

Thanks for any advice.

as long as you leave the flanges installed at the transfer case and rear diff.. you cand rive all over town in a front wheel drive wrangler.

Hi Racer,

Thanks for your advice.

I'm curious about the flange reference? Does it have to do with the bearing load at the differential and transfer case, or is there something more?

Thanks

Jeff

pinion pre-load, and your diff fluid will likely spill out all over the place.
