This unit binds up when in 4wd. Caught the left front skidding while testing in 4wd. Did not in 2wd. Jacked it up and it binds in in 4 wheel also however usually not as abruptly. Does not in 2wd . Tried turning the driveshaft with the 4wd disengaged and the front end binded again. I found some metal shavings on the left side magnet/oil plug so tried pulling the left hub. 2 of the wheel studs appear to have shoulders that seem to hold the plate on that goes over the studs. Double nutted the studs but could not get them to budge. And of course couldn't get the plate off.
Main question is is the problem gear likely to be at the hub or the differential?
