Three wheel motion

I was just curious if I broke a diff cup while romping my Chimera, could i just pull the dog bone out and keep romping? Considering it is 4 wheel drive. Not sure if it would put any stress on the differential, only spinning one tire . I don't plan on doing this a lot, i was just thinking if i got into a pinch. Let me know what you guys think.....

I broke a diff cup, and removed the whole front diff. I just ran it in RWD.

Just my opinion, but I think if you tired to run it with just one dog bone, it would send all the power to the side with the least resistance. It would cause unnecessary wear to your diff and might even cause the car to pull to one side. Better to just pull them both until replacement parts arrive. RWD is pretty fun anyway :)
