Hubs

Hey guys I have a 97 f250 7.3. My problem is my right side hub locks in and when I spin the tire the drive shaft and the other tire will turn but when I lock the drivers side the drive shaft dose not spin or the right wheel. I took the hub apart and it seems to be working. When I manually push the hub In it ingauges the axel and the axel spins with the tire but the drive shaft doesn't move or the other tire. Any ideas? Is my hub broke or somthing worse?

Pull the axle shaft and see if it's broken inside the tube.

if you never removed the spindle, get a 10lb slide hammer and use the 3 jaw locked on the spindle tube nuts

mine took 200 wacks with a 5 lb to get it off
