diff lock not working?
i can move the lever up and down into high and low but it wont move to the left.... when i got the disco it wouldnt even go up or down so i took the console out and lubed it all up.. but i still cant get it to go into diff lock? whats the best lubricant to use? also when the console and everything is out it looks like its supposed to slide on a little shaft when you move it to the left... mine wont budge....

Found It.
Here is the original write-up I did when I did my CDL Teardown/Rebuild.
Check out the Ex-MOD on the referenced site.

Here's a shortcut to just the pics I took.

As I recall, the first time I actually got it to move side to side, even after all the teardown and reassembly, I putan extension on a speed handle with whatever size socket it was and rotated the nut in the middle of what I call the "Pivot Point" down at the bottom of the linkage right at the transfer case. I was trying to remove the nut, thinking I needed to tear further into it, and attempting to loosen the nut actually moved the shifter from unlock to lock. After working it back and forth a few times, it finally moved smoothly, but the CDL light still would not come on. I ended up having to replace theCDL switch as well. The internal plunger was corroded and the switch failed.
With New Switch and all the linkages lubed well, my CDL shifts " Smooth as Butter".
Take a look at these pics, it's the triangular plate at the bottom of the pics.

Hope that helps.

Do you still have your console out? Look straight down the CDL linkage. It's the nut on the far right in the picture with the little linkage to the longer vertical linkage piece.
I accessed it from the top with a speed handle and long extension.
I don't know if you can get to it from beneath.
