Towing The Pathfinder

[hardlydangerous]

The 93 needs work before it can be driven so I plan to tow it home. The fuel tank needs to be repaired as well as the lines and a few other things

its 265KM away from my home/shop so CAA is out of the question.

 

I have a car dolly available so...

what is the best way?

 

make sure the hubs are unlocked, lock the steering, back it on and tow it backwards?

Or

remove the driveshaft and tow it forwards?

I'd remove the Drive shaft and tow it forwards if ya cant get either a trailer or flatbed truck.

 

And about the Fuel issue, dont forget your pathfinder has a fuel tank access hole in the cargo area under the carpet. Can get at the lines and sending unit from there. Good luck with the transfer.

stuff a rag in the ouput shaft or leave the fwd side of the shaft in to keep oil from spilling out of the t-case when the shaft is off.

This. Unbolt the drive shaft from the rear end and wire it up out of the way...
