question is when rear is jacked up and in neutral, should I be able to turn just one wheel if I block the other. Both seem to turn when in gear but in neutral both will turn only if one is not being held....help me out here eh, thanks.
Derek.

That sounds normal to me. If you hold one, of course it will slip. If you spin one, the other should spin in the same direction. If it spins in the opposite direction then its an open differential. Mine does the same thing you are describing, but I spin both tires unless one has much less grip than the other.

He is exactly right here. It dosn't sound like you have any problems, as long as both wheels are spinning the same direction.
