Default LSD quick Question

If i jack up my rear left wheel, brick the front wheels so they cant move, leave it in neutral with no handbrake, am i supposed to be able to move the wheel even though the other is hard on the ground?

Thanks

Youll get both answers, if its hard to move then yes, it is Limited slip, and after all it will offer limited slip.

yes, you'll still be able to move it, with a bit of force, as it's limited slip and not a locked/spooled diff...

It should take about 110Nm to turn if the LSD is working correctly, and in good shape

the reason why I ask how to check 110Nm is that it couldn't possibly mean swinging off the wheel nuts....?
How would you measure the torque....?
