What are you trying to do? To get 2wd you need to remove the front driveshaft from the transfer case to the front diff.

Some people found it easy but didn't find it that easy myself! Had to go and buy a brand new good quality ring and open ender (12mm I think) and then make sure you identify which is the nut (as the head of the bolt is pretty much prevented from turning).

Buy some new ones before taking it to a shop. They are often butchered so you might as well get something on there that will come off next time.

yer there not butchered just really stiff and aint moving any time soon ill just pay some tosser to do it for me haha

Guys, my attesa pump has died, so in the meantime is it ok to drive it around indefinitely (until i can get a new pump) with the front shaft removed and either the 4wd fuse removed, and/or, the attesa pump removed ? From what ive read, should be fine, but if anyone sees a problem...

Yep I drove around like that for a few weeks - shouldn't be any problem.

Whats the best way to leave the computer if we remove the front shaft?

Tell it nothing (just remove the shaft)

or start pulling fuses and disconnecting stuff?

[chook]

well ive pulled shaft, removed fuse and released pressure in fluid. So I assume ecu knows pump is inoperable, hence 4wd light on, and does not, and cannot, try to turn pump on.

Mine is a s1 ive removed the front drive shaft do i remove the the 4wd fuses now?

Apart from removing the front drive shaft and 4WD fuse, do we have to release the fluid?

[ingsy_2540]

Release fluid??

[Down_Shift]

The atezza fluid.

[ingsy_2540]

How?

Apart from removing the front drive shaft and 4WD fuse, do we have to release the fluid?

No. Pulling the fuse will stop the pump. Fluid will not escape.

[ingsy_2540]

How do i realese pressure?
