Yup he has tried it on both axles.

He knows loads about landies as he has an original RR classic 6x6 and rebuilt engines loads of times etc etc but on this occasion he is totaly stumped.

SteveG:
OK if that's the case then something is causing it to bind up and make it difficult to turn by hand.

You say it's unlikely but it must be the reason as everything is working as it should when driven by the engine.

He can start to elimate things by removing propshafts and halfshafts. Try front axle first. Remove front prop. Lift one wheel and see if it turns by hand.
If it doesn't remove the half shaft on that side and again see if it moves by hand. If it doesn't strip the hub and look at the CV, bearings etc. If it does move ok he'll need to look at the diff. While doing this he might as well do the same for the other front wheel too.

If it moved ok by hand after removing the front propshaft then something is binding it in transfer box. Assuming it was in neutral before :wink:  :wink:

Then do the same for the rear axle.

Cheers

Steve :)

muddyjames:
So he would need to do what you just said to all 4 wheels then?

SteveG:
Yes afraid so, unless of course it starts moving by hand easily as soon as he removes the propshaft. If that's the case he can focus effort on transfer box and gearbox as something is not right when it's in neutral.

Cheers

Steve

centre diff has probably <ahem> itself & the broken bits are probably locking it up,then when he drives it its overcomming the resistance o the bust bits
