Cant Switch hubs from auto to manual very easily

So, I changed shocks on my truck. Front end dropped when second shock was removed - think I may have created a vacuum leak as the next time I tried to engage 4wd the lights worked but front tires did not spin. I will trace down that issue. When i went to manually engage the hubs the lever would not spin by hand - they would move if I used a wrench and applied force. I'm figuring they have never been manually turned - I know I haven't turned them since I bought the vehicle from the prior 1 owner. Any ideas on how to loosen these up or clean them? before i make a bigger job out of it then neccessary? Everything was fine until I changed the original shocks and 118K miles

Had to go outside and look again, they do actually look like my '04's. Guess I haven't looked too close recently
