Hub wont lock in

Ok guys well my Girlfriend got a 98 toyota 4x4 and we were trying it out the other night. It was doin fine it the mud only one problem her passenger side hud wont lock in.... it will go half way to lock but it feels like it is binding up. I havent taken it apart yet and checked it but just wondering if anyone has had this problem and what was the solution to fix it. I'm pretty good about fixing things on toyotas have had alot break on mine but have never ran across anything like this. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanxs for any help on this.

 

you mean putting the truck in reverse? or turning the dial in reverse?

 

yea i was planning on taking it apart when she gets home from class today and see whats going on in there. thanxs for the help I didnt know if anyone else ran into this problem or not. but I've always lived by the hitting with a hammer method

I'm assuming its a manual trans & the other poster pretty much said it for me, gently roll back & forth a few feet & try turning the hub , if this doesn't work you could remove just the outer screws that hold the hub together & check for grease it may be dry & need to be repacked, I don't know about the mallet thing though

 

Thanxs guys for all the help it worked kinda when I rolled it back still kinda binded up so i took it apart and it needed grease bad....
