Removed front differential to replace rotten oil pan. Now reinstalling front differential. But input or pinion shaft will not turn. Wire harness not plugged in, seal/driveshaft flange piece was removed. Concerned about a possible jam internally, etc. So holding off re-installation of differential until clarification.

It sounds like you have too long of bolt in the wrong place, can you loosen/remove any bolt that would jam the gears or axle.

Please let us know what you find so it will help others.

Best, Ken
