    you can but I would put bolts with washers through the hub centers so they bearings don't come apart and the car doesn't hit the ground.

        So put a bolt through the bearing with a big washer on each side? Thanks for the super fast response!!!

          Anytime you don't need your old axle for a core charge, keep both axle ends and you can use them (outer piece instead of a bolt) and take the cir clip off the inner one and use that to keep your spider gears from falling into the transmission. If you are planning on pulling both axles out of the transmission and don't have an old stub shaft to put in one side, then use something like a short piece of a broom handle stuck in one side of the transmission in the axle hole. Make sure the stick goes all the way into the spider gear or you could be a very sorry camper.
          You gonna race that thing?
