Hi everyone, I've searched all over the Internet and don't seem to be able to get a definitive answer to the following... Can I completely remove the damaged prop shaft from my 2005 Tucson and continue to drive it - simply as a front wheel drive only?

The next question is how on earth do you get the 4 hex bolts out of the rear coupling! There's no space to get a socket in there and I'm sure I'm going to snap an alan key off trying to loosen them!
