that blueing is normal is its a jap CV.

You should be able to rotate the CVs smoothly all the way around with no notchy feeling. you'll want to check both CVs ideally.

If it is the cv's then you should still be hearing the noise with the hubs locked with it in 2wd. With the hubs locked its turning the half shafts and cv's as the wheel moves.

not necessarily, it depends how bad the CV is, some won't click if there's no torque going through them.

I used this great vid to disassemble and reassemble mine

NB: This is for the outside clutch part, I believe he has others for the internals!

First time I fitted locking hubs was cos my front diff broke at an off road event... got a friend to sell me them and deliver to a mcdonalds car park in the freezing cold january night... fitted with only an adjustable snapper, numb fingers and a lot of difficulty...
Something everyone should have = circlip pliers!
