    Removing FL drive shaft

    Hi all,

    I want to remove the FL drive shaft so I can put on a new CV joint.

    My Q is: as I'm rotating the drive shaft to get access to the gearbox end bolts, being a 4Motion, can the back wheels be left on the ground so it can rotate??? I'm unsure as never done the on a AWD before.

    Cheers for any advice

    Yes, it's fine.

    It's only 4Motion when the Haldex module says so.

          No.

          With the key off, it is just a front wheel drive.
