I think he's saying he tried 4 wheelin' with one hub engaged and one not fully engaged.

Did you have front drive? Usually the wheels won't engage unless both hubs are engaged. I geuss there could be a point where one could be engaged enough to give front drive but not enough to keep from doing some damage.
Either way,when installing the new hubs just follow instructions carefully. You can use a cold chisel to turn the spindle nuts but a spindle wrench is cheap and more civilized.
