I bet you broke one of the Auto hubs....
I bet you broke one of your Auto hubs. I broke one and it was still driveable but the front wheels wouldn't pull. I replaced the front Auto hubs with a set of Warn Premium hubs. I had to get that special huge socket tool for the lock nut though. I think you need the hub nut kit from Warn too for your '96.
I got my hubs and the conversion kit from AccessConnect.com for about $120.
Part number 20990 for the hubs and 32720 for the conversion kit with the replacement nut and ring.

no, the hubs are not auto locking. its manually done, however on a normal factory hub there may be a chrome metal piece, but it is accompanied with a series of screws which affixes the hub to the steel rotor with hub attached.

Yeah, I swapped a 82 front end into the 88 I sold to my buddy. He loves the better settup. He did some easy wheeling with your style hubs but was worried about breaking them and wanted to swap them out. I had the 82 I was parting out so I hooked him up.
He got it free due to being my designated driver all the time. Gotta apriciate that.
