Just throwing this out there, but with a regular posi you shouldn't be able to turn the driveshaft with one wheel on the ground. If you can it means the posi isn't working.

Probably because I have a posi unit and had the other tire on the ground , I think both tires have to be free to turn? So will try that, and in extremis, I will remove the differential back plate
