    Maybe someone put Omix-Ada spiders in it and the splines on the axle wiped out the splines inside the gears. I think you're going to need to pull the shafts regardless.

    Who's the Wheelie beeg dummy Now?
    Keep in mind I have worked with a few lockers before and one spider gear as a teenager.
    When you said this a light bulb went on in my small brain.
    OPEN DIFFERENTIAL!!!!
    I thought that the right rear always had power. WRONG!!!
    I thought the spiders where stationary. WRONG AGAIN!!!
    O for TWO
    So I went and jammed the left rear tire. Then turned the driveshaft and BAM!!! The right rear tire spins.
    So Glad You Guy's can Help Fix Stupid!!!
    I will now make my way back to right field with my head hug.

    I was a bit confused by your first post, I decided to keep my mouth shut. It sounded like everything was fine.
    Going to right field or returning to the corner of your room, same thing.

    Yes
    That's what I get for checking it with all the wheels off.
