I had our GQ TB42EFI patrol do a major service and when I went to put it in 4WD mode (I have the auto hubs) it made that clicking noise which usually happens when you disengage but it kept doing it. I read that this can happen when it gets over greased and should be lightly oiled, so thought I could resolve this myself and got the allen key out and took the hub off and I noticed part of the auto hub is fixed to the axle . I uploaded a couple of pics to show. Is it possible that when doing wheel bearing it has been put back incorrectly? Have had a few things go wrong/not done well already with this mechanic so don't want to go back there. Any help please would be greatly appreciated as the back of the hubs do not look like what I have researched here and on the net.
