ok, i took the whole front end of the truck just to get to the front diff. The diff is working fine. then, i took the front drive shaft that is conneced to the trany directly and i rotated it. it wont rotate. it is stuck. so far i think the brakes are sutck they wont release. i cant assume it is the trany yet because the rear wheels are spining just fine and the trany is not grinding at all. so now the question how do i release the brakes? please let me know if you have any sugestions. thanks in advance. sorry to bombard you with my problems. summer is near and i want to have some fun. my friends are bashing but me.
