Full floater---locker

So after the Rubithon there started a loud bang in my rear axle. The culpret was one of the spreader nuts on the hub was for all practical purposes all the way unthreaded and the threads on the hub were a bit buggered up. I managed to get it all back together by backing the inner nut and cleaning up the threads on the end.
now the problem is that the locker doesn't seem to be ratcheting around corners. I realize that I will need to pop the cover and look and see what it's not doing. Are there some things that I should look at? I am a novice banana mechanic and not real farmilur with lockers and I have a lockrite in there.
Basically I am looking for tips to look at when it's open.
When it's open do i need to back the axles out of the locker.

What I did temporarily to stop the locked condition was unlock one side hub and that is working for now but not the fix necessary.
So any tips will be greatly appreciated. Thanks...
