I also can't get the diff to move differentially with the car on jackstands. I have a call into Auburn to get some tech on how much effort it should take to counter rotate the wheels.
The wear pattern looks ok on the ring gear and the wheels turn freely, just together.
Comments and advice? Just put fresh fluid in it and drive the piss out of it?
Any good way to check the pinion seal? Is it easy enough to pull the yoke and just replace the seal without disturbing the gear setup?
Thanks.
