Hi Guys,

I have just bought a 2009 DX which is immaculate and I love it, but I have just noticed that the front locking hubs appear to be siezed up or permanently locked. (It's an ex mine managers car) I can't turn the black locking/unlocking mechanism at all, even with a pair of vice grips. Does anyone know if the mines lock them in somehow so they can't be disengaged? Considering they are in the LOCK position, can I unbolt them and take them out to clean them or replace them? I noticed they have been getting a bit warm after a drive, so should I be replacing them and is it a drama to have them locked all the time? They are the older style GQ locking hubs.

Cheers,

Scotty
