definatly not. if u can then you skinned your ring and pinion and broke the tranny or the tranny is not in gear and you skinned the ring and pinion.

think about it for a sec. the driveline turns the tires. if the tires cant move the DL cant move.

it might move slightly but no full turns or quarter of a turn or anything like that

Check the u-joints, when they wear out you can get a little play in the drive line.
