Patt,
Unless you can find TWO used or bad outer CV (which is either hard to find
or very expensive) to hold the front wheel bearings.  You don't want to
disassemble your good axles, don't you?  Why going through all the hassles
just to make a 2WD Syncro?  Taking out drive shaft is a easy task which may
make sense (especially if you have a bad shaft and don't want to spend big
bucks to fix it), but I don't know about taking TWO front axles out.  Oh,
and your speedometer will show dead 0 no matter how fast you drive....

Regards,
Yi-Ruey Wei

The front diff won't turn if you pull the front axles.  Just use the outer
CV joint housings to hold the bearings together.
Right?
