will removal of rear axles make car immobile?
Will removal of rear axles make a car immobile? I have a 240D parts car that I might scavange the rear axles for my 85 wagon and I was wondering if it would make the 240 immobile. As in, will it make it a non roller? Its not quite ready to be put up on blocks and stripped, but getting real close.

I wonder if you will harm the rear wheel bearing if you load them w/o the axle?

If it was a double-row ball bearing, as typically found on FWD cars, it would be damaged without the side load. These are easily identified by having a huge bolt (eg 16-18 mm with 27-35 mm head) and huge torque (eg 295 N-m).
The MB in question has tapered roller bearings, which are held together by a nut, which is then clinched in place to prevent loosening as the assembly rotates. The little 8 mm bolt (13 mm head) which holds the stub axle in does nothing to secure the bearing. Roll away sans shafts!

Thanks. It was a manual trans ad the trans has long been removed. I'll continue to use the parking brake.
