SO, about a month ago I broke a chunk off my cv.. which caused popping and binding on occasion.. i bought new axles, but they havent arrived yet. Last night, the passenger side cv axle bearing carrier let go completely, so this morning i ripped off both axles, and bolted everything else back up.
i promise-- THIS IS TEMPORARY!! the new axles should be here within a week.
But, I want to know for sure that my wheels are not going to fall off!!
I didnt tear down everything, mostly because I did not have a 54mm socket, but it looks to me that it will be ok to drive.. So, I DO have the 54mm nut in place, and of course the caliper holding everything together.

Any advice? Just want to make sure my temporary fix isnt going to cause problems.

as long as you removed the  cv's  you'll be fine, stick a rag in the back of the spindle  so dirt doesnt get in there

and put the lockouts back on
