If you hold both front wheels so that they dont turn, then try and move both of the rear wheels.

If the diff is tight, the belts, slipper shaft and nut will all turn, or the belts may jump a tooth.
You can do exactly the same for the front, but turn the front wheels backwards if you are running the clicker.
The tlr guys recommend you do something slightly different to check the diff tension, which they posted on you tube, i dont really like the method as it assumes your diffs are all in good condition and well built, which may not always be true in my case.

The slipper shaft where the nut is located will *never* rotate when the slipper is engaged for the rear of the car. It does for the front though.
See my previous post to this thread that has a picture.
