Default Dana 30 locked up

After replacing the hubs on my d30 the front axle is locked up (wheels wont turn same direction. Acts like limited slip when in the air) when I try to move forward or back. I took the axles out and cleaned them up a bit. I never took the diff cover off thinking as long as nothing moved it would go back together fine. What might my issue be?
