mysql, alter column remove primary key and auto incremement

I'm changing my mysql db table from an id (auto) to a uid.

ALTER TABLE companies DROP PRIMARY KEY;
ALTER TABLE companies ADD PRIMARY KEY (`uuid`);

This is the error I get..

[SQL] ALTER TABLE companies DROP PRIMARY KEY;
[Err] 1075 - Incorrect table definition; there can be only one auto column and it must be defined as a key

Which I understand, I need to change the id to a non-autoincrement because I drop it as the primary key.? What is the syntax to change a column to remove primary key and auto increment?

ALTER TABLE companies change id id ?????????? int(11)
