The hub dial has to be installed in the correct notches in the hub body. One has more area machined out as there is a tab on the dial assembly that will interfere in any other position. And it will not lock if it is assembled wrong.

This is exactly what I was talking about.
 
I helped a guy in Moab years ago who couldn’t get his 60 in 4 wheel drive. He had his knuckles serviced at the dealer recently and they reassembled it wrong.
 
Then there's the idiots on youtube using a hammer on the outside of the hub to egg the hub so the cone washers come out. Those hubs are amazingly simple. A word to the wise - do not pack them heavy with grease....they won't engage if you do.

I’m still waiting on a used hub to arrive and then I’ll asses the state of it. Likely will need some light cleaning and regreasing.
 
Ok, got a used hub in the mail today and I took off the new hub switch and tried to seat it to my existing hub and it's not seating. I can get the large gear teeth to lock in but the inner gear ring won't sit. Is there a trick for hub switch mounting?

Haha some times it's the only way to get them loose. If the po has bent the hub doing it in the past.
 
I think the original hub wasn’t liking the clutch from the replacement, so after swapping the old clutch on the new hub switch, I was able to get it to fit flush and function well.

This video helped a lot

This was the culprit of the hard to turn old hub, one new pawl and it’ll be good to go
