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

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

As vr_powered says DO NOT move the car ........ see section 5 page 168.
Good luck.
