Converting 4WD to 2WD

[Newboy1996]

Is it possible to convert a Full-time 4WD Toyota Corolla to a 2 wheel drive car and can most garages manage this ?

Yes, obviously.
But you then have two big holes in your drive train, what do you do with them?

As most Corolla's were fwd, it ought to be possible, but you may find yourself changing all the running gear from the clutch backwards (gearbox, rear axle, rear suspension parts).
Given the likely value of the car, is it worth it?

nobody has asked why on earth you would want to do this.

Less fuel consumption.

Please tell me you're joking ?
You'll need to take out the 4wd bits and replace with 2wd bits. Likely to include the gearbox and lots of other things like suspension.
It will take you lifetime to recover the cost via lower fuel consumption.

Ok, its not a simple task at all! I will rule this car out of my list.
