no problem
well it's definately a center diff and not supposed to be locked...have you opened it up yet?
Not trying to pick on you w/ this but How did you check it to say it's locked? have you isolated each diff by holding the front wheels and spinning th erears? and so forth.....if it's locked then take it out of the buggy and see if you can spin it w/ nothing else connected to it.....if not then you gotta open it up....
when you do, look for small metal parts locking the gears together......also just get a new set of diff gears (spyder and Bevel) and rebuild it.....if the other gears are still good keep em as spares......replace the cup and bearings whil eit's out too...all those parts shouldn't run more than 25 bucks......w/ shim kit and cross bars...

Done!/.///....
you need to take off the diff brace...that metal plate on top of it.......then the small set screws in the brake cams (the posts that hold the brake linkage arms)....slide those arms out, lift off the top brace and you should be able to remove the brake cams altogether then........next the mount for the whole diff should come apart and you can lift the diff cup and spur gear out as one unit......then it's all gravy...4 screws hold the spur gear on the cup and it's open.....let us know (pics prefferably) what's inside...that's where it's locked......

there are no set srews .. that way i can't take it apart.....
Dude,
C'mon
I can see th eset screws in the pics above....they're in the TOP of the brake cam post....they keep the arm that your brake servo linkage goes through......you take the four screws off the top of the center diff brace, there may or may not be another set of screws underthe brace.....and lift the brace off......the diff just lifts out.....I like helping people but you gotta help us so it's not like pulling teeth......this is very basic Mechanical stuff.....coin collecting is a pretty low maintenance hobby.....
