Sure, but on FWD, you still cant do that easily, it has to come out the bottom, and on most of the ones I've seen, you have to still remove alot of stuff before you can do that. Again, its because the two half shafts are connected to the transaxle and the front wheels, which in turn is connected to a bunch of suspension stuff. And the ones I've seen also cant go down without taking some frame members off because the transaxle sticks out the side too much. I dont claim to have seen them all, and as Godfrey points out, there are exceptions to both sides, but generally speaking most of the FWD drive trains have the same rough removal procedure.

Every picture of you is when you were younger. "...Here's a picture of me when I'm older."
