How do lock out hubs on a 4 wheel drive work?
The hubs lock the axel to the hub, which drives the wheel. With the transfer case in 2WD, the rear driveshaft drives the rear wheels. Without front hubs, in 2WD, as the front tires roll, they spin the axles and the front driveshaft. With lock out hubs, in 2WD and the hubs unlocked only the tires spin. However, in 4WD if you forget to lock the hubs, only the driveshafts and axles spin. When I lived in MI, in the winter I always kept my hubs "locked", this way I could shift into 4WD whenever I needed to without getting out in the cold to "lock" the hubs.
How do you lock front hubs?
If you have lock outs or free spinning front hubs, you turn the center of each front hub to lock them in. If you don't have lock outs, they lock in when you put it in four wheel drive. To unlock them, take it out of four wheel and slowly back up 3 to 5 feet.

You cannot do it. The anti lock brakes get their coding information from the hubs. So, if you reverse them your anti-lock brake light will keep coming on. Just get the hubs from Autozone and do it correctly.

How do lock out hubs work on a Chevy 4 wheel drive?
Lock out hubs release a tensioned spring that holds a splined gear over the outter end of the front drive axle. These cogs are splined to the axle on their inside,and geared to the hubs on their outside perimeter , making the connection between the two when locked in. These are located on each outter axle end ,in the hubs, at the center of the front wheels. When unlocked the front axles and front driveshaft are no longer forced to turn with the tire.

If the hubs are stuck in the lock position you will have to remove them and try to clean them and put fresh grease in them check the springs make shure they are not broken or tenson is gone out of them best idea is to swap them for warn manual hubs as the auto hubs are known for not working properly, i changed mine over to the warn manual locking hubs you can get the kits off e-bay
