IIRC I beleive the Warn hubs need to turn almost 360° to lock. Can you turn the hub lock nearly 360°. If you can and still do not have enough travel to engage then you may not have the right hub kit.

If they are warn Premiums, you need to turn them almost a complete round like Robin said. Or as far as they will turn.

X3 what Robin and Barry said, technically it's 9/10ths of a turn but basically almost a full turn. If you got Premiums the correct part # is 38826.
