Both technicians are correct. Technician A is correct because, in many FWD vehicles, accessing and removing the driveshaft can require partial disassembly of the front suspension to allow enough clearance. Technician B is correct because loosening the front hub nut is often a necessary first step in the process of driveshaft removal, as this nut secures the driveshaft to the hub assembly.
