na you just like to twist things , yes I admit I might not spend as much time , as I should describing things in such detail , but I've never been one for paragraph after paragraph just get to the point , if you don't understand ask simple really where as you drone on all by the book that's the differance

Yes i agree, but mostly it's the wrong point. Think the main difference is i don't have to Google my answers. You do. Not everything i know is available on Google.

I have it's all about leaning , it was a quick simple check,rave and manuels would have you take the prop and drum off , it's just short cuts nothing wrong with that ...,

Any sensible mechanic would have put it on a slight incline and released the handbrake.

I ain't a sensible mechanic , but that would be my suggestion - infact this is how unsensible I am - I would have put in N, HB off then tried to push it....but the more sensible answer would be to let gravity do the work!!Any sensible mechanic would have put it on a slight incline and released the handbrake.
I also use multiple sentances and examples when only one or two words would have done, but then again I am verbose, and I get that from my Dad, and he's great so there..!!!

You make me laugh and would that tell me that the brakes are binding or the handbrake !! Better to test Individually

Ant you are the most verbosely gifted person i know. That comes from technical writing were the person following the instructions maybe as thick as pig poo. I make the cardinal error on here sometimes of thinking that the person reading actually knows what i am talking about. That sadly is not always the case.

Never assume - as you say in my day job, I have to write instructions and Technical Documents, and again, as you say the person who has to repair, maintain or replace the Components I/we design could be a total numpty....Ant you are the most verbosely gifted person i know. That comes from technical writing were the person following the instructions maybe as thick as pig poo. I make the cardinal error on here sometimes of thinking that the person reading actually knows what i am talking about. That sadly is not always the case.
I know this is preaching to the Converted, but if you have seen Aircraft Maintenance Manuals (I know you have Tony...!!) they are written so a total lemon can follow them - esp. the Boeing AMM's but then again they are written for Americans
.The EADS/Airbus manuals are a bit more technical and with better imagery, but still written for a doughnut to follow..!!

I think that is what he was getting at....you would need two people turning both wheels in the same direction at the same speed to take the Diff action out of it...
Then it will be like stirring a bowl of real thick treacle as your trying to turn the VCU against the solid front Propshaft (as the fronts are on the ground)
If the VCU is duff, you won't be able to turn the wheels at all.
There would be noway of discerning a stiff VCU against the binding of the handbrake drum....
Query - Would putting the TB in Neutral along with the GB, would this disenagage the VCU action as the prop won't be trying to turn the VCU and TB??

Well if it rolls down the hill neither are binding are they? One stone two birds. You really do have a lot to learn don't you. In the case of the OPs problem if either handbrake or service brake was binding sufficiently to prevent the engine from moving the vehicle, then it would have to be a serious bind and something would be getting very hot as he drove it normally, as he says it does when drive arrives. Think you maybe amusing a lot more people than i am.

Yes they will, one will rotate in the opposite direction to the other. The prop shaft will not move.
