locking hubs

im new to the locking hubs, i oredered the mile marker hubs. while they were on sale, installed them yesterday. the only problem is the driver side handle wont turn. its like something is holding it or its froze.

the passanger side went on just fine no issues, it turns great locking and unlocking. but the driver wont move, any ideas would be great. thanks

I would take it back apart and re install, being careful to follow the directions. It is possible to have missed small step.

sorry that usually is the case, hope some one chimes in that can help.

Just wondering, what was the reason for the upgrade anyway? this may lead to why it wont work, why i ask is... if you bought them cause the system was not working, then this may not have been your problem.
Also, the manufacturer may have a tech line to call for this.

Sorry i couldnt help, Mark

Does the **** turn with the hub not installed? You may just have gotten a bad one.

Did you make sure the snap ring in in the groove on the axle shaft? That might have stuff messed up, or I agree you got a bad hub.
