So to make a long story short, "It ain't gonna happen". I was really hoping I could remove the front shaft without any form of conflict.

Maybe I wasn't completely clear on my description. You can do it, but you will have to run in 4high lock. My question is why would you? You are sending all of the power to 1 axle instead of dividing it between 2, thus doubling the torque load on that axle. Sure you will get rid of a small amount of gear resistance (the power being sent through the Morse type chain) to the front axle, but at what price? See PhilD and my coments in the rear cover thread about the lube/heat problems we are seeing.
