Ranger locks up in reverse
I have a 1995 ranger 2x2 5 speed manual, that locks up in reverse. I thought it was the rear brakes and eventually removed them. Same issue. The wheels spin no problem when the truck is jacked up. I took the truck off the jacks, put it in neutral and pushed backwards. It went about a couple feet, then locked up.
Any thoughts?

There was a similar problem on FRF The suggestion was to pull the differential cover and see if the spider gear was broken. It was not replied to again though. So you could either do that, or pull the drive shaft and roll it, if it locks up then you know it is the rear end and not the transmission.

Rear differential issue
This problem began right after my son spun the tires, in reverse, trying to move the truck out of some ice and snow.
How big a job is taking the axle out? Any problems associated with removing it? How can I tell if something is broken?
I've worked on just about everything, but transmissions and axles.
