The stub shaft is what holds the bearing together. Also the shaft holds all the fluid in. Dumb idea to remove a shaft and drive it.

it was clicking in both 2 and 4. Grab your ujoint and see if you can move it either way or wobble it. It should not move. ( other than the obvious rotations of the cups when shafts are moving.

You can if you have the old axle disconnect front axle, like on 1990 and older XJs.

What you are looking for can be like a wobble.
