Te diff heads are the same but double check the ration. It will be 4.3 of 4.56 and must be the same as the rear diff.
As you have manual hubs its easy to check things.
put car in neutral engine off 2wd hubs unlocked wheels on ground
Check you can turn the front driveshaft by hand. 1 cv will also turn
lock that hub and repeat
other cv should turn but original should not
lock both hubs and repeat
driveshaft should not turn
If any of these fail they should point towards the faulty hub cv or diff.
I have seen lots of manual hubs siezed or installed incorrectly so they dont work.
Are they Asin or something else?
Sanding your knuckles before starting work can help. That way you cant skin them
