might get better/easier results if you put a jack under the damaged axle and raise it to normal ride height before chaining or strapping it. You can leave the wheel on the other side.

Temp gun as many mention, not sure if I missed anyone asking a trip or dual axle. If Trip I suggest a good chain and attachments to lift an axle for worse case scenario on loosing an axle bearing!

With all these very helpful tips, and so many people interested in this trip, if you have a lop top, throw a few posts up while on your trip. It would be fun to "watch".
You never know, if something happens, chances are there's a member not to far willing to lend a hand.
US1 did this a few years ago on route to FPC Miami poker run and it was a homerun hit in popularity. I'd find the thread, but admittedly to lazy, lol.

Use locks on the spares, had one stolen off a customers trailer in the middle of the day at a truck stop, also exit 22, lumberton North Carolina has a nearly new holiday inn, nice clean inexpensive place with a large parking lot right off the highway. I stay there on the way down and back as my half way point.
