I dunno about technique. All I know is that I was trying to back our camper trailer up a little grassy slope into a cove of the timber for a campsite. I put it in low range and the rear wheels spun. Pulled forward a few times and tried again and finally it worked.

If anyone wants those old hubs, they can have them
