Smitch: New page: I wanted to share a way to drive your Eagle without the front axles. You need four 2" dia. washers with 3/4" hole. Also need two 4 or 5 inch long 3/4" bolts, I like the 5" ones myself.....

New page

I wanted to share a way to drive your Eagle without the front axles. You need four 2" dia. washers with 3/4" hole. Also need two 4 or 5 inch long 3/4" bolts, I like the 5" ones myself... nuts and lock washers for the bolts. Cut two pieces of 3/4" inner dia. heater hose about 3" long. Place one washer on each bolt ... then slide the piece of hose over the bolt ..... apply a little grease over the hose and push the bolt with the hose thru the hub hole from the inside outward. Put the remaining washer on the exposed thread end of the bolt then lock washer and nut... Tighten untill the lock washer is fully compressed ( both sides ) and you,re ready to drive away. This is only intended for temporary use because it won't keep the water and dirt out of the bearings, but keeping that in mind you can drive your Eagle without the wheel falling off until you get the parts to fix it right. .......Pict added...... also posted in axle/diff..
