Question?? This is due to money right now...can i just remove the ring gear, remove the front drive shaft and run in two wheel drive till i have the money to get it done??? Due to the baby coming im not going to get to wheel to much this summer anyway. So I could save up money and buy gears and lockers.
Why can't you remove the ring gear and everything else in there? Maybe I don't understand it right, but if you leave the side stuff and already have a washer that has broken aren't you asking for something else to fall out and jam itself in the ring gear or pinion gear? I know it's much more difficult to put everything back in, but I would think with nothing rotating there's no chance of anything else being damaged.
