reverse back 2mtrs and it usually unlocks them.
piss them off and put manual hubs on.. best of everyworld specially since your locking them anyway instead of the auto...

YMMV

there was a thread recently by some dude that did it, was happy iwth result, it worked perfectly.
but he was too fukin lazy to get out of the car to lock them, so converted them back to Auto hubs.

Why would you modify the Auto hubs to be manual? if your going to that much trouble, get manual ones, atleast you don't need to have the tyre iron with you to lock them in, if you have that in the back of the car and want to lock them in but can't get to it cause you have your tools and that around it, your up the creek :)
