welcome to FTE.
to answer your question, clockwise to lock,
counter clockwise to unlock.

Dan, get you an allen wrench (5/32" sounds right) and pull the cover off. You should be able to fiddle with the dial and internals to make it work/point correctly. If not let me know and I might be able to send you a set of 44 hubs.

kris after posting that i remembered i got the one hub to turn the other day with a pair of pliers and now i can turn it by hand. the truck sat for the last few years so they might just need to be tore down and cleaned/greased up. hubs aren't near the top of the to do list right now, but thanks, i'll hit you up if there's an issue.
