The knob is the 'wheel' and the rod that goes through lock is the 'axle'
I assume you mean rear axle lock... The axle lock function works as follows: Push the switch in once to lock the rear, twice to lock the front as well. Then pushing the switch will unlock/relock the front. With just the rear locked, pull the switch twords you to unlock the rear. Or you can move the transfer case lever to 2WD, which will disengage the lockers.
The purpose of a hitch lock is rather important for people that own trailers. The hitch lock is designed for the purpose of attaching a trailer securely to a vehicle.
The purpose of a wheel and axle is to reduce the total friction that acts against the linear motion of an object along a surface.
The actuator on the front differential may not be engaging to lock in the front axle. How can I fix it?
No, a wheel and axle is a part of a moving vehicle. A weel is the part that moves the car and the axle is the part that keeps the wheels in place. A weel and axle is also a part of the six simple machines.
do not ingage inter axle lock when spinning wheels.
The actuator is located on the front axle.
There should be a lock ring on the axle that prevents the wheel from sliding off while in service. Remove the lock ring and slide the wheel off the axle. You may need a lock rings pliers to remove it, or you might be able to do it with a small screw driver.
The wheel and axle is a simple machine. It is consists of a wheel that turns an axle and in turn a rope converts the rotational motion to linear motion for the purpose of lifting.
The inter axle differential (also called a power divider) is an integral shaft in the forward axle. That shaft is the input for the forward axle and also the rear axle with a differential separating the input from the output allowing for a difference in speed between the front and rear axle.
