Drive shaft removal

Post by Austin »

Hi,

If I take the drive shafts off will the car still be able to move as a rolling chassis - or is it a part of the front set up???
I need to keep the car as a rolling chassis

How do I remove the drive shaft? - can't find my haynes so guessing a bit

Four Sciroccos, four gone, but at least I know all parts from most current one went to good homes....

Without driveshafts you will damage the front wheel bearings, if your going to be replacing the front wheel bearings anyway then not an issue but otherwise i would suggest you slacken the hub nuts slightly and leave the cv joints in the hubs to save damaging the bearings
