    Yes, but the Front Diff Centre will continue to rotate due to the drive flanges still in place, potentially causing more damage.

    hence removing the drive flanges..

    also being realistic... if you only have a small drive home or to your fav repairer, then just locking the centre diff only will be fine.

    also, i have yet to see a broken fine spline half shaft that wasnt being hard core offroaded at the time.
    its reasonably common on an old course spline Perentie.
    Regards

Or don't drive in such a cavalier manner that destroys CVs.
    True, I was just think of drive.

    Wonder why they didn't go the whole hog and fit a pair to the rear as well.

    Jury is still out. The owners seem to think so though.
