I was thinking more on the lines that you removed the entire propshaft - to the rear diff. Leave the Haldex in place, just change the oil and the filter. That is enough pain-in-the-neck for now, as you were not getting any AWD warning messages anyway.

Funny, the other car makers have a maintenance schedule for the Haldex (every 40-60K miles) but not Volvo. MB calls me at 50K intervals for tranny, transfer case, Haldex, and rear diff every 50K miles - for a mere $1200!

Because you did have a warning about the ABS, check the front wheel sensors while you are working in the front of the car and make sure one of them is not knocked out of alignment or had the wire broken.
