I believe it works off a clutch system, so I don't think you can just disconnect a line or something. Why wouldn't you want it?

Getting sideways is poor driving/lack of traction. Limited slip is there for better traction, an open diff will only be worse. The ABS sensor is on the top of the housing if that's what you're looking at, unhooking it won't end well.

If you open your diff you will see a z shaped bracket if you take that out you will have a open diff

So you think one tire with power is gonna get you up a hill better than 2 wheels with power?
