Default Auburn Locker Won't Unlock--Help!

Anyone have any advice for me to get my Auburn front locker to release? I had to drive it home from wheeling locked up (about six miles). I've tried the slow steering and it's still locked up. Any other suggestions? If I have to tear into this, what are my options? Thanks!

Try driving backwards figure 8s. That should get it to release.

Glad I could help as I've only been here a couple of days.

Every time you change your oil, put it in 4 high and do a dozen figure 8s in reverse, it will keep your locker or limited slip performing well.
