Hey everyone went to go for a drive around the property on the weekend with a mate, so i locked my hubs and did all the usual stuff but my diff had not drive. There where no clunking sounds or anything so it doesnt seem like i'v fucked it but iv got nothing
Any ideas maybe my hubs are buggered.
Thanks Guys......

Sierra?
Get a big rock or a medium hammer and give the free wheeling hubs a knock or two. Sometimes they don't activate properly.
If this works, you should pull them appart and re-grease.

check you front hubs, they might not be engaging properly. ... even if one doesn;t engage, then you have no front drive.

hahahahahah way off topic
hey mate.. lock the hubs in and hop under the car and turn the shaft that runs to the front diff.. if this spins easily the the problem is in the diff/hub area.
next step would be the hubs off and check in there
good luck with it.

X2.
Which side. Stick it in neutral jack up a wheel and spin it. Look to see if the drive shaft turns. If it does the other side hub needs a whack. If it doesn't the jacked wheel needs a whack.
Oh what the heck whack'em both.  Strip and clean is easy.
