Are you actually IN 4WD, or are the hubs/axle disconnect just 'locked'? I ask 'cause I had a similar problem when I first bought my Sport - the front axle stayed locked but 4WD wasn't actually engaged. Turned out it was a grounding problem. If it's actually IN 4WD and shifting out doesn't do it then it's unlikely repacking the hubs is going to do anything other than saving you from having to do that in the near future.
