Can you de-X an XC? V70-XC70 1998

Dropping the rear drive shaft is an easy way to get rid of all of the AWD problems. You will then have a normal V70. The angle gear stays put and full of fluid.
The problem is resale time. The drive shaft is balanced, and the bolts are weighted differently, IIRC, so putting it back on could be a problem. And you sure can not sell it as an XC without awd.
The angle gear box fluid can be pumped out and refilled, preferably every 60K miles.
