An axel splint comprises five main parts that connect together. The axel splint is attached to the hitch of a vehicle to prevent a wheel from coming off when the axel is broken. The axel splint has a horizontal adjustable L-shaped hitch coupling piece 2 that is adjustably connected to an L-shaped adjustable extension bar 3. The extension bar 3 is adjustably connected to a circular cylinder rod 4 by a coupling piece 6. The cylinder rod 4 supports a rotatable tire cylinder 5 located at the wheel end of the cylinder rod. The tire cylinder 5 may be adjustably located along the length of the rod 4 by collars 14. The collars are fixed by two set screws and each collar has a bearing 16. The tire cylinder 5 rotates on the bearings and against the wheel of the broken axel, keeping the axel in the axel housing for emergency movement of the vehicle. The entire device (parts 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6) may be removably attached to the standard trailer hitch 7 when not in use using removable pins.
