I'm not too savvy either but I'm pretty sure that you can. I have driven my WJ without the front prop shaft for a couple of weeks' whilst waiting for the new one to arrive, although I've been told that the transfer case isn't really designed for driving in 2WD only. Rather than having mine repaired or replaced by the Artamon stealership, I found it cheaper to buy one from the states. You'd probably need imperial size socket wrenches to get it out.

I'm sure someone (SJC member) living close would be able to give you a helping hand.

All the best
