Easy, the propelling force from all the hamsters inside the wheel pushes it against the frame. It's sort of like how you can make the entire trip on the boat without realizing the propeller shaft nut is gone... until you put it into reverse at the dock.

Just a smaller version outside. We never found the nut, thrust washer, lock tab, etc. But they were easy to find replacements for.

I've done it - twice. Recovered the prop both times, but then had to go scrounge for some new small pieces.

The landau roof support is also a cotter pin.

I am waiting for my 1990 Jeep YJ to get out of the shop. I took the original 258 I6 with 162k miles on it, and did a complete rebuild, down to the short block - crank, bearings, overbore, pistons, rings, milled head, motor mounts, high-performance Howell fuel-injection, camshaft, manifold, K&N intake, valves, springs, guides, lifters, timing gear and chain, header, fuel tank, sending unit, fuel pump, and a new Optima battery. Also added a B&W quick shifter, and a full set of new Auto-Meter phantom gauges with new gauge pods. It was supposed to be ready for this weekend, but some of the parts and fabbing took a little longer than expected. So, hopefully, I get it Wednesday. Aargh! {#Sad}
