does anyone know if you can take the 4wd out of the honda crv? and how hard it is?

 

just remove the propeller shaft, and you have a fwd,easy

 

is it something easy? or is it something you would have to have a professional do?

 

I removed the back half of mine and it was pretty easy. I cut the rear axles (they were badly rusted anyway), removed the remaining part of axles by separating the outer CV joints, removed the rear differential, and removed the driveshaft.

It was about 90lbs of weight total and a good amount of reduced rotational resistance. I guess you could just remove the driveshaft, but then you still have lots of dead weight back there and a differential to fight against.

 

sounds like a lot of work haha

 

Why do you want to remove your 4WD?

Working on cars usually is work, don't be lazy

 

so i can get more power. plus my 4wd makes this real obnoxious noise when it kicks in and ****.

 

Could be your differential fluid that needs changing. How much power are you looking to get out of it? Whats your goals for the CRV?

 

that noise has happened ever since we bought it in 97. my goals. are to dropped the awd, make it 2wd. and then drop it about 1.5 inches and get black 16's for it. and the windows tinted and a little bit of stuff under the engine.
