im sure i could reassemble them and likely will. ill also likely sell them for a deal if they b/c i dont feel good about using them. i maybe should never have bothered to swap out the perfectly fine auto hubs. i did it cuz i wanted to know the hubs were locked but i cant know they're locked

One bolt out of the lot won't cause them to not engage.

Probably like mine they weren't set up right at the start and you popped them
in according to instruction. Like me.

I didn't like my auto's because they would leave a nasty clunk when rocking
the van when stuck.
