is it okay to use the low range without locking in the hubs? eg for climbing a steep hill, pulling a load, etc etc???
im asking because i currently have a bad front axle on my b2500 so the front wheels don't engage in 4wd, but i still use the low range to climb steep hills, under load, when needed. (i carry a full 200 gallon water tank up a very steep hill)

For the KZN65 (SR5) you have to get some lithium grease and spray the clutch release fork by pulling back the boot rubber there. It's below the van (probably directly under the glove box or thereabouts). I don't have a pickup at the moment so that's the best I can do in terms of description.
Where Team Loco?

I say by force, because I needed to change the outer CV axle as well..
CV was dry as a biscuit, covered in mud, and the balls were TOTALLY seized.
you are not alone my friend. i left my busted boot on for two mths and then my axle started making noise. had to do a total scrap down and replace all boots and also replaced steering ends one time. also front left upper cradle bushings.
fyi, i bought everything at TTTL (being a co. van). i was told i bought the last of the parts they had. they may not order more in a hurry
Took the chance obviously to change the inner one as well on the side we dismounted. Inner joint in great condition.
