Here's instructions on how to disassemble the hub: http://www.sram.com/_media/pdf/sram/...Y09_E_RevA.pdf
If you have access to a good machine shop and can figure out how to disable the driver for the brake and not destroy the hub in the process, go for it. I think you're better off getting a freewheel hub if that's what you want.
