Technically-Yes. BUT, there are a couple of things that must be done.
1. You will need to have the outer CV joint/Spline still mounted through the front hubs and tightened. This will require you to disassemble each halfshaft and and use the outer ends or else you will destroy the hubs. OR you can buy 2 halfshafts from a salvage yard and use the ends. That way you can reinstall your originals when you get the front diff replaced.
2. Front driveshaft must be removed.
3. I believe you must have a selectable 4WD and keep it in 2WD at all times. I believe it may still work if it is an AWD, MAYBE- but it will drive your ECM nuts.
4. It is to your advantage to simply replace the defective front Diff with a New, Rebuilt or good used unit.
