Free-Floating Hub For Towing

try here for the disconnect...http://www.remcotowing.com/drive_shaft.php

 

From the looks of it - it has more and bigger teeth than axle splines, since they are the approximate diameter of the driveshaft, so should be fine.

 

As I said, had it on a '72 Old 98 w/455 >400 ft/lbs and 4600 lb car, and believe me, we USED all of it at times.

Would need to get more details on that coupler but I see a couple of issues with it. First, it says "starts at $695" and i doubt that setup could fit inside my torque arm setup. The torque arm setup is the reason why the driveshaft is not easily removed. Here is a picture of the torque arm setup and as you look at that, imaging it with a bigger 3" od driveshaft.

 

A 4600# Olds with a 455 and 400 lb/ft torque is nowhere close to a 700hp turbo car leaving the line @ 5000 and 15-20psi boost :D

 Hey guys, 

 I got my old NMW freewheeling hubs out and want to repack and clean the bearings. Does anybody know how they come apart? I see a screw with a roll pin in the back. Do you drive the roll pan forward and then back the screw out,  then once you get it a part drive or pull the roll pan completely out? 

 Only get one shot at this and don’t want to ruin my tow hubs. 

 

 Thanks very much in advance!
