I'm interested in switching to the Mile Marker hubs that are listed on ebay. Can anyone tell me the difficulty involved in replacing the cheap plastic OEM ones with the Mile Marker ones?

My issue with the OEM's on my '00 X LTD 4X4 V10 is that I had to use a pair of vise grips to get them to move into position to switch to 4WD and applying all that force to one small section of the hub center strip is causing the plastic to crack. I attempted to switch back to 2WD by returning the hubs to the "free" position only to find my "4WD LOW" dash light is staying lit.

Does this mean that even if I switch to the Mile Marker hubs, I may still have an issue switching back and forth between 4WD and 2WD??

P.S. I'm in Southern Maryland (Lexington Park to be exact) and it's nice to see there's other X owners in my neck o' the woods with similar problems. Misery loves company!!
