My lockouts are frozen and can't be turned. Any suggestion on how to free these up?

Hi there,
this is a common problem with standard 4X4's, it is caused by axle creep that is due to the fact the front and rear tyres are different rolling diameters and you have no central diff, what you can do is drive in reverse for a few meters and this should help un load the hubs, they should disengage, try this.
