Problem with new locking hubs.

Thanks guys, I will do this tomorrow... Hopefully the differential isn't messed up because I am learning as I go. I wish I knew how to post pictures. I do most of my stuff from my iPhone.

      The tech section on this website is full of how to's.  There is even a write up on loading pics by capt., most people use photo bucket like Irish said so that they can do multiple pics at a time.

Relief and anger today. Looking at it today and found that I installed the upper ball joint grease fitting. This hits the axlejoint, which binds the axle. Rookie mistake. Relieved it's not the diff, but mad it was such a stupid thing to overlook. Thanks for the responses tho.

 I'm rebuilding my front end to and after reading this Im hoping that I learned something. I just got the spindle and knuckle off today. Maybe I wony forget to take the grease fitting out...only time will tell.

Easy thing to overlook...just make sure and grease the upper balljoint really good with good grease before you put the plug in. I used red and tacky Lucas.
