Title: Towing a 1953 Kaiser from the rear out of the garage
Post by: ChrisHawaii on March 01, 2019, 08:00:39 PM

Hello everyone,
A very basic question, coming back to my Kaiser after years of absence... Weird feeling!
I need to tow the car outside of the garage to check it out in the open.
Where should I attach a towing strap?
Thanks,
Christian

Wrap strap around rear differential, put shift into neutral and release parking brake. Make sure front tires face straight forward and your good to go. I pulled a 51 out of a garage with two stuck drums and the tires slid. This way there is even pull and the car should come straight out.

Car went out nicely,with wheels turning  ;)

The new owner will be in Kurtistown, on the Hilo side of the Island. He will join the forum and will for sure ask for help when needed! It will go on a tow truck as it does not run. Not much needed to make it run again...

The car was in Kamuela, (North of the Big Island) coming originally from WA.
