how badly did I break it?

Yeah thats probably the best bet. I know how christmas sucks the money back! We just got blasted with tons of snow up here so I usually leave my manual hubs locked for most of the winter and have never had a problem with them. Although your gas mileage will change a bit but when you get stuck in snow so deep you can't get to the hubs to lock em, its worth it!
