I am going to put a clamp on my front diff. to keep both axles locked, so my question is after I move the collar over do it put the hose clamp on the axle shaft? this is what my common sense tells me but I just want to make sure before I start.

sorry for such a nubie question! I promise i will learn more and the questions will get better.

Its to lock your front shaft so it doesn't have any problems with the vacuum line taking a dump on you. but wont be in 4 until transfer case is engaged (shifted to 4).
