Hadn't you engaged them beforehand?? :whistle:

Yes but when I took them off today, one side was not locking at all when the dial was turned on the hub.

When I got mine used I did a teardown because one of them was not "working right" and sticking and found the internals were not assembled correctly. As I recall it was to do with the spring not locating well. Often the springs get broken apparently. It's partly (10%) why I leave them permanently engaged, that way I know they are working.
