I've pulled my hubs off cleaned em out and the front right looks fine but is failing to lock what could cause this? It all looks identical to the left nothing's broken..
on the car - its not the "egg ring" in the wrong spot?
I had this happen - found out on the beach I had no drive at the front
after much much to-ing and fro-ing to the Mechanic's, it seemed the "egg ring" was not in the correct place
so it wouldn't let it engage

ok so ...the yellow arrow is showing the retaining tabs bent out from the locking gears and on green arrow you can see auto/lock switch and the scratches of where the tabs run rather then mounting the knobs ramp to engage/disengage... anyone else had this happen? its certainly not what I was expecting.
When you lock your converted auto hubs with a socket, was it a positive 'it's locked' feeling on the handle, or would you almost be able to do it by hand?

It was as per normal once the auto bit was removed still locking in with a click. But since it failed it was a bit stiffer than normal but was still clicking.

If so that's what has happened to my manual hubs. They are cheapies but flogged either way
It screws on fine but there are little bent tabs that are meant to run up a ramp on the knob that pulls a gear in alignment or out of alignment from another to lock unlock it
