Remove MMU3 from MK4S

I bought an assembled MK4S with MMU3 and I'm having a lot of issues and just need it to work. (It's getting MMU overcharge and filaments have trouble loading until I reset the printer)

Since it was pre assembled, what do I need to do to turn it into a regular MK4S? What do I need to change? Sensors? HF nozzle?

RE: Remove MMU3 from MK4S

Just take it off the top mount and set it aside, remove the tube feeding the extruder, and put the regular filament holder in its place. All you have to do is select the regular (non-mmu3) extruder in the slicer and you are good to go.

RE:

you could simply disconnect the MMU. however the filament sensor would not be ideal.
alternatively revise the Nextruder to use the normal filament sensor
Print (or buy) the parts you need for the re assembly of the normal filament sensor, before you disassemble the nextruder. 
 then disassemble the nextruder to remove the MMU Style Filament sensor components
I am having difficulty finding the assembly guide for the Mk4 (MMU3 version) Filament sensor
If you look at the MMU3 printable parts list 
https://www.printables.com/model/531604-mmu3-printable-parts/files
there is a section for parts used in the Nextruder. 

these need to be replaced by the  items in the link below...   

re assembly see instructions in  the link below
https://help.prusa3d.com/guide/5-nextruder-assembly_434014
I believe the filament sensor spring is 
https://www.prusa3d.com/product/spring-3x9-set/
I can't see the tiny ball bearing, Magnet, and prusa ball holder in the spares list. 
I suggest contacting the Chat team to ask for these parts. 
Don't forget to load the correct firmware, and re run the initial configuration wizard
