4wd no longer working??

[K1W1]

Guys

I got slightly off the road today in the snow and had my lr wheel in a ditch no sweat flip it into 4wd and away - nope.

The light came on all good but I went nowhere and the dude standing on the road said "put it into 4wd' mutter mutter mumble it is said I - nope said he front wheels are not driving".

I tried a couple of tests in gravel and snow later on when no one was looking (drop the clutch) rear wheels spun no evidence of front wheel spin. Yes the hubs where both locked in.

What is going on? How do I make it work? How do I check it I thought up on axle stands??

Any help or guidance will be most appreciated.

Cheers

Chris

are they auto hubs? or manual?

Sorry yes they are manuals the car is a '91 1600 carburater - nothing fancy.

Seems real strange to me

could be time for new hubs?

Aw don't tell me things like that - how can I check them? What sort of $$ are involved? etc etc

maybe pull them down and clean and grease them.

Dumb question but they were engaged right? Did they feel tight to engage?
