I noticed tonight while manually locking/unlocking my hubs, they are real hard to turn. Is ere any way to free them up, perhaps some lube around an o-ring inside?

You have defective hubs, they use a floating lock ring design, so whether there's a pre-load or not, the **** cam simply applies pressure to a wave spring between the **** and lock ring. When the hub rotates, the lock ring will eventually align, and the spring will provide the force to drop it in or out.
Usually when the **** is difficult to turn, there's a pinched o ring or the spring is caught on the housing.
