It looks like the front diff would need to be loosed and slid forward to remove the driveshaft. Is there an easier way? Thanks

I only have first hand experience with the 800's but on them the slip joint on the rear of the driveshaft (transmission) has enough room to let you slide/tap the driveshaft back once you remove the roll pin from the from pinion shaft. Slide the driveshaft back, get it off the front input shaft, then slide it forwards to get it off the transmission output shaft. Seems like I've read that the 900's are the same.

The 900 does not have a slip joint. It is a solid shaft.

The shop manual says to loosen or remove the front diff bolts after removing the bumper and pull it out the front

Dose the whole drive shaft come out the front including the carrier bearing?

when we do them in the shop. We remove the front bumper, differential and loosen the steering rack and bring it out the front.
