Dave, thanks for the good post improving my understanding of the mechanical aspects of the AWD and the front hub engagement / disengagement process.

On another subject, perhaps I can help you. Try using your word processor to compose the body of your post. If it’s a relatively current program it should contain a reasonably good spell checker. Once you get the post composed and spell-checked just highlight it (Select All), choose Copy from the Edit Menu, switch to the Forum’s Reply text entering window, click in the window and Paste in the message you composed with your word processor. Of course there are many way of copying, pasting, etc with the mouse or keyboard, but you get the idea.

Happy Y2K!
