Usually rotate the end cap clockwise until it stops
put in manual hubs. that is the best way to make sure that they get locked in every time.
The 1993 Toyota T100 4x4 came with automatic hubs as standard equipment. However, it was also available with an option for manual locking hubs, which allowed for more control over the 4WD system. The automatic hubs engaged when the vehicle was put into 4WD, while the manual locking hubs required the driver to engage them manually.
Make sure your vehicle is in neutral before trying to engage the 4 wheel drive. If you hear the "clunk" of the transfer case engaging but there is no discernable difference in driving behavior, make sure the front hubs are locked.
Methinks, 'you really r e a l l y don't want to do that!' Unless, someday when you push the button and want the auto hubs to engage, it really won't matter whether they do or not......
I just had the same problem with ours. The automatic hubs went out on ours. The front hubs are also vacuum ran. The best solution is to buy a pair of Warn manual hubs from NAPA auto store and just replace the orig. auto. hubs with manual hubs. You will want to disconnect the vacuum solenoid on the drivers side, by the fender-well and tape it with electrical tape. This should solve all your problems. If your original automatic hubs are OK. then chances are there is a vacuum leak somewhere. That is why I suggest replacing them with manual hubs. Hope this helps and Good luck.....
For Ford F-250 manual lockout hubs, you typically turn the hub in the direction indicated by an arrow labeled "Lock" to engage four-wheel drive. To disengage, turn the hub in the opposite direction to the "Free" position. Always ensure the vehicle is in neutral when engaging or disengaging the hubs for proper operation.
It is Shift on the Fly but it has manual hubs. So you can put in it 4x4 in the cab but would have to get out to engage the hubs. So what i do is when i think i am going to need the 4x4 i lock the hubs before hand. Having the hubs unlocked reduces ware on the front drive tran and betters the MPG
I believe you will still have to shift the truck into 4wd inside the cab after locking the hubs on the wheels...I can't remember what year my Dad's F-150 was but he had to lock the hubs on the wheels first then shift the manual shifter inside the truck into 4wd to engage the 4wd feature. If there isn't a manual shift inside the cab, I give!
Hi, I can only offer a suggestion, has it been a while since you operated your hubs? If it has been a while then maybe they are frozen and need to be taken apart, cleaned, greased and put back together. It's an idea because I have have manual hubs and mine were frozen because they hadn't been used in a long time. I couldn't save one but the other I was able to save. I purchased a new hub on EBay and I'm OK. If you find your hubs are gone then try EBay and see what you can find. If you live in a snow area like me, then you probably want hubs NOW, well there may be no easy way out. One last thing to try is to try and engage them a few times and see what happens. Good luck.

To engage the manual locking hubs on a 1995 Toyota Pickup, first, ensure the vehicle is in neutral or park. Then, locate the locking hub on each front wheel and turn the hub's dial or lever to the "lock" position. After engaging the hubs, shift the transfer case into 4WD mode to activate the four-wheel drive system. Finally, check for proper engagement by driving slowly; you should feel the front wheels pulling.
that's a stupid question, auto 4wd hubs have no place to put the locks that engage the 4wd, that's why its called auto 4wd, so u don't have to get out of ur car and lock them in
what year? manual or auto hubs? 2001 , crew cab, 4X4. manual hubs
